Things to consider for storage:
Choose a storage location that is cool, dry, and away from direct sunlight. Excessive heat and humidity can accelerate tire aging and deterioration. A garage or basement are ideal options for storing tires, as they offer stable temperatures and protection from the elements.
Whenever feasible, store your tires vertically rather than stacking them horizontally. Vertical storage helps prevent the tires from developing flat spots and maintains their shape more effectively.
