When looking to store your tires you should always make sure that you have a suitable location, such as a warehouse or storage facility, that has temperature control.[1] Tires should be given a good cleaning and separately sealed in large, dry, airtight bags before being stored to help reduce the chance of oil evaporation. Storing your tires in a location that has climate control can extend the life of the tires but it is still good practice to have them changed within 6 to 10 years maximum as regular use will wear the tread and rubber compound breaks down over time.
