JB4XX Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 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...

gharknes Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 bike tyres should not be stored for long periods, they have a sell by date like food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB4XX Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 Paint them white. I may just coat them in Armor All to keep them looking fresh. :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rockmeupto125 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I stack mine up horizontally right next to my XX. But it wasn't my idea originally...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Joe, don't forget to leave a front stand between the stack of tires and the bike, that's key. :greenfingers: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickrad Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, very nice garage Rick. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
