*Tire Storage Question Suggs. Pls

[skilletrx]

I just got some Toyo Proxes 4, but I've decided to hold off till Summer to put them on. Whats the best way to store my tires if i were storing it for, oh say 6 months? Someone suggested to me saran wrap to protect from mold?? Iunno. Comments and suggestions pls!

You can buy some nice bags to store them (online) or just get some bags from your local tire place.

I'd keep them indoors, in a cool dry area and you shouldn't get any mold.

Also, keep them away from electric motors as the ozone they generate degrades rubber.

lay them on their sides as well....this will avoid flatspots

I just store my side by side, standing like a normal tire. There are in a cool dry place. I just make sure I roll them around abit, and don't let them sit on the same spot for too long. There are doing fine, second year I've stored them and no troubles. I'd think that storing them on the tread would be better than storing them on the sidewall, since tires are made to be on their tread. Just make sure they don't sit on the same spot for too long.

EDIT*This is just my opinion, and what has worked for me, it may not be what is right.(thats my disclaimer)

Wrap each on in 30 gallon garbage bags and store on their side. If they're not mounted on rims, I wouldn't stack them on top of each other. And store out of direct sunlight.
