I have nine brand new tyres of various sizes I got cheap and was
wondering what is the best way to store them in my shed? ...stood them up one on top of others against a wall and they distorted now got them flat biggest size at the bottom one on top of another.... |

Possibly stacked up like a pile of .. tyres ?. If you are going to keep them for a while, maybe stick each tyre inside a strong dark black polythene sack and even exclude as much oxygen as possible by giving a blast from a CO2 fire extinguisher, then tape sealing. |

Stood on edge on a flat surface will tend to make them ovid and create a flat spot. Lying flat on a surface, possibly in a stack would be better but how high the stack could be before the lowest ones got too squished I don't know. Garages have them on edge in racks that provide support in at least two places. Support like that in the right position will avoid the ovid making but unless the contact area is large may give a dent at the support points. -- Cheers Dave. |

Probably the best way is to keep them individually suspended in tanks of silicone oil at a constant probably low temperature. Maybe in so-called 'microgravity' in orbit would help too. Accelerating them to close to the speed of light would slow down ageing relative to you. Or just stack them up and swap them around occasionally. Cheers -- Clive |

Support like that in the right position will avoid the ovid making but unless the contact area is large may give a dent at the support points. Every tyre place I've ever seen stores them vertically. That’s because it’s the only viable way to do tyre place storage. You need to be able to get individual tyres out by moving just the tyre you want. That doesn’t mean that it’s the approach which sees the tyres last longest. When fitted and with the weight of the car, they can develop a flat spot. But on their own? That can happen when the tyre stands vertically on a flat surface at the bottom. I would put them in thick black plastic bags to keep the light out, though. Tyre places don’t. |

Would you worry about plasticiser release inside a plastic shed? Probably not, I guess. It't not going to cause environmental stress cracking of course. Which is the reason you try to reduce the stress on them, including the old one about jacking cars up and putting the axles on bricks. So a single layer reversed periodically might be best, if hardly convenient. |

That doesn’t mean that it’s the approach which sees the tyres last longest. When fitted and with the weight of the car, they can develop a flat spot. But on their own? That can happen when the tyre stands vertically on a flat surface at the bottom. I would put them in thick black plastic bags to keep the light out, though. Tyre places don’t. Yes but they have the turnover. With so many "next day delivery" wholesalers I doubt if they keep anything long. |
