Wheel storage

After removing the summer or winter wheels, you need to find a suitable place to store them. For this, a dry and dark room is best suited, the temperature in which does not exceed + 25°C. If the wheels are too hot or cold, they will become covered with microcracks, which will reduce their service life. Make sure that the tires do not lie closer than one meter to the source of space heating.

Keep gasoline and lubricants away from tires as they can corrode them.

When changing wheels seasonally, mark with chalk the direction of rotation and the installation location of the removed tire or wheel: PP - front right PL - front left RFP - rear right ZL — rear left.



If the seasonal kit consists of tires with rims (pic. 1, A), then the best option would be to hang the wheels by the central hole of the disk or stack them on top of each other (well). Beforehand, you can pump them up a little. It is impossible to store rubber separately from the disks: under the weight of other rings, the bead and lower treads are deformed, the grip will deteriorate, the tires will wear out quickly and unevenly. Tires without rims (see fig. 1, B) stored upright (on the floor or shelf), about once a month they need to be turned around the axis. If there is a chamber inside the tire, it is necessary to significantly reduce the pressure in it. Separately stored cameras should not be crushed and folded, as this leads to the formation of folds, and then cracks. Before storage, you can sprinkle the tires with talcum powder so that they do not stick together.
