Tyres and wheel storage

To keep them in good condition, you should always store wheels that are not in use in a cool, dry and dark place. How you place them, as well as avoiding exposure to chemicals, is also important.

When you store wheels that are not in use, it's important to keep them from direct sunlight, rain, water, heat sources or sparks. They should never be stored near solvents, petrol, oils or similar substances, especially not flammable ones.

Store wheels1 hung up or lying on their sides on the floor.

If you store tyres not fitted on rims, you should never hang them up. Store them standing upright or lying on their sides instead. If you hang up rimless tyres, they may become deformed.
