cptn janks Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 ok, i told myself i was going to take off my rims and put my stock wheels back on when it snowed. i woke up this morning, and it was snowing at my house, so i took em off. my question is, whats the best way to store the wheels and tires until spring when i put them back on? they are in my garage now, but i was gonna move em to the basement once i get em all cleaned off... should i deflate the tires? keep em inflated? any tips anyone?

Alex1647545498 Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Put card board under them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonneVille Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Lay them flat, so they don't get a flat spot. I've been told you should deflate them, but I have no idea why it would make any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street pilot Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Put each one in a black garbage bag, and draw as much air out as possible, then tape it shut. This helps the tire retain its oils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 I had some 18s sit on top of each other in the basement of my house last winter, and they really stuck together. Plus, the dry air in the house sucked all of the moisture from them. Bottom line: 1) If you stack rubber against rubber, be sure to have plastic or cardboard between the two, and 2) If you store inside, keep in baggies to retain moisture.

Guest Elinar Longsight Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Joel posting: keep my DR's in the basement. keep them separate from your furnace (emmits ozone) and lower psi to about 5psi. Got these tips from BFG pamphlet or thier web site. I forget which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
