Avon Storing Tires

Use care when storing tires.

When tires are stored they should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sources of sunlight, heat & ozone such as hot pipes & electric motors. Tires should be stored so there is no danger of water collecting inside them. Be sure that surfaces on which tires are stored are clean & free from grease, gasoline or other substances which could deteriorate the rubber. Tires exposed to these materials during storage or driving may be weakened & subject to sudden failure. Also, be sure to allow air to circulate around all sides of the tires, including underneath, to prevent moisture damage.

When storing tires flat (one on top of the other), stack so that tires on the bottom retain their shape.

If storing tires outdoors, protect them with an opaque waterproof covering & elevate them from the ground. Do not store tires on black asphalt, other heat-absorbent surfaces, snow-covered ground or sand.
