Bought several sets of tires towards the end of last summer. Is it best to store tires standing up or laying flat? Do I need to hang them on a rod if I dont plan on using them for several months?

Its amazing the things you can worry about over the long winter months...

:D

Paint them white.

bike tyres should not be stored for long periods, they have a sell by date like food.

I may just coat them in Armor All to keep them looking fresh.

Josh I store all my tires on a tire rack, in my trailer, standing up. I would guess laying them down would be the proper way to store them for long periods.

and just paint the grooves and letters white! :wink:

I stack mine up horizontally right next to my XX. But it wasn't my idea originally......

Joe, don't forget to leave a front stand between the stack of tires and the bike, that's key.

Standing up is the only way. If you store them stacked it'll be harder to set the bead.

like so..(far right upper corner)

Rick, your garage looks so damn good, you definitely need your ass kicked. That, or I need to go clean mine.

Seriously though, very nice garage Rick. :lol:

I've seen his garage... that's not it. My guess is that's an old pic from when he lived in Texas.

He's won plenty of oscars, mostly from his early work in gay porn.
