Professional storage costs $100-150 per season but saves space, time, and protects your $600-2000+ tire investment.
Tire storage typically costs $80-150 per season (6 months) for a set of 4 tires. Climate-controlled storage and tires on rims cost more. Many shops offer annual packages ($250-350) for both winter and summer storage with changeover service, saving $50-100.
Properly stored tires can last 6-10 years. Professional storage in climate-controlled, dark conditions maximizes lifespan. Tires stored in poor conditions (heat, sun, moisture) can deteriorate in 3-5 years. Always inspect stored tires before use.
Tires on rims are easier to store (stand vertically) and faster to install. Unmounted tires must stack horizontally and require mounting during changeover. Storage on rims costs slightly more but offers convenience. Either method works if done properly.
Yes! Professional shops clean tires before storage. Dirt, salt, and brake dust contain chemicals that damage rubber over time. Clean tires with mild soap and water, let dry completely, then store. This extends tire life significantly.
No, never store tires outdoors. UV rays, temperature extremes, and moisture cause rapid deterioration, cracking, and dry rot. Even covered outdoor storage allows UV exposure. Indoor storage is essential - professional climate-controlled storage is ideal.
Book storage when scheduling seasonal tire changeover. In Canada, book winter tire installation (October) and summer tire installation (April). Popular shops fill up fast, so book 2-3 weeks ahead. Many offer online booking and automatic seasonal reminders.
