At MyPlace, we offer plenty of space and ideal conditions for the secure storage of your summer and winter tires. If you rent one of our Self Storage units near you and read up on our tire storage tips, the biannual tire change will become a much more efficient and stress-free endeavour.
Careful storage is crucial for extending the lifespan of tires, ensuring road safety and maintaining optimal performance. Here are five important tips that help you store tires properly:
The storage duration of tires depends on various factors, such as quality and proper storage. Generally, tires can be stored for up to eight years if the storage conditions are optimal. However, you should inspect the tires regularly and carefully before use.
You can store your tires in different places: the basement or the garage are popular choices, but rented storage units offer some important advantages. Here are some pros and cons of each option:
Basement or garage | Storage Unit | |
---|---|---|
Pros | Affordable and convenient: the tires are stored close by and available round the clock. | Ideal storage conditions: the temperature and humidity in the units are carefully monitored and controlled. Also, the units are not exposed to sunlight – ideal conditions for tire storage. |
Cons |
Harmful environmental influences: humidity and temoerature fluctuation can quickly cause damage to your tires. Waste of space: Danger in case of fire: The rubber mix that car tires are made from can cause fires to spread more quickly and produces poisonous vapours when on fire. For fire safety reasons it is therefore not recommended to store tires in the basement or garage. |
Transport distance: the tires have to be stored and retrieved from the unit. |
Storing tires in a clean and secure storage unit is reliably the best option– but what to do about the annoying transport to and from the compartment? We are happy to help out! With our convenient transportation service, you can have heavy items, such as tires, delivered from your home to our facility and back. Detailed information on this offer can be found on our moving and transportation services page.
Our Self Storage Units make for the perfect temporary home for your car tires, furniture, clothing, or documents. We've summarized all the advantages at MyPlace for you:
