Replacing rubber does not end with a simple shin change - the question arises where to store rubber until the next season. Many motorists prefer to store summer or winter tires at home, most often - on the balcony, someone trusts automotive "shoes" by specialists, leaving the tires for storage in the room equipped for these purposes. What is it important to remember not to face the deformation of an important element of the car in a couple of months? Let's figure it out.
Important rules
We are looking for a place. You should not scatter the tires chaotically, choose a cool place, where the rubber will not be exposed to the active action of ultraviolet. Also watch the moisture do not get into the neatly folded tires, especially if you store them with disks. Do not allow the appearance of cracks and loss of elasticity.
"What about discs?" - you ask. You can leave the tires with disks, but in this case do not put the tires vertically, instead, carefully fold them with a stack - only this can avoid deformation. If you have chosen the storage option without disks, do on the contrary - we put the tires vertically. Important moment: turn over the tire once a month so that the rubber does not take an unnatural form.
Observe the necessary storage conditions.

Select room
The already mentioned balcony will be suitable for home storage, but only if you are glazed and you have the opportunity to maintain the optimal temperature in the room without entering the moisture, which is relevant in the winter, when even a small puddle on the balcony can freeze and thus Apply irreparable harm to rubber. But the ideal option for home storage can be considered a storage room - here and dryness that we need, and the temperature is always stable.
What if…
Alternatively, you can leave rubber ... On the car, if you do not plan to use it until the next season, however, there are our own rules here if you do not want to get an unpleasant surprise in six months. First, such a car needs to unload so that additional pressure is not created and, as a result, is deformation. Secondly, it is important to leave a car on special stands, as well as maintain optimal tire pressure.
