What's the best way to store a brand new spare car tyre, on the wheel, for about three years?

Answer 1

put it on a wooden skid and cover it up.

Answer 2

Don't bother with nitrogen fill, it won't make much difference. Store it in a cool dry location, out of the light, part inflated (10 psi~) and supported by the wheel so that there isn't any weight on the tyre. When you need it you might want to change the valve before re-inflating it and then check it is still fitted evenly on the rim.

Answer 3

Keep it away from heat and light, especially ultraviolet light/sunlight - these will perish the rubber quickly. Also, keep it sealed in plastic to keep air away, as this will dry out the rubber. I'd suggest giving it a coat of Armorall before storing it to keep the rubber supple (not too much, you don't want to soak it) and let out almost all the air, leaving about 5-10lb of pressure so that it keeps its shape. Changing the air for nitrogen is a great idea, but I wouldn't know how to find some. Do all this, and it should come out in the same sondition as it went in.

Good luck!

Answer 4

normally in the boot but you may need it in three days if you get a flat tyre so do not worry about storing it for three years you will be very lucky if you do not use it in three years..

Answer 5

let most of the air out of it and put it in a plastic bag that's not see through. the ultra Violette light is bad. it should be like brand new. even if its outside

Answer 6

FILL IT WITH NITROGEN.

Nitrogen will not degrade the interior rubber of the tire or corrode the wheels, since it contains no oxygen or water vapor -- both present in the atmosphere we breathe and pump into our tires.

Answer 7

In the trunk of the car so you have it in case of a flat!

Answer 8

In the boot where its supposed to be..

Answer 9

My waist!
