Seasonal Tire Storage Suggestions
Looking to store out two sets of all season tires out of the garage. Curious where anyone store their all seasons/winters and how much? Suggestions please! Thanks.

I saw a sign at Subaru Calgary advertising their storage service. That's all I got. I just put mine in the crawl space.

I have room underneath the stairs leading to the attached garage. Have both sets of tires.

I'd recommend a length of rope and an intricate series of pulleys.......otherwise, the rack mentioned above is also available at Canadian tire

I would check with whatever shop is going to do the swap out. Not having a garage I'm using the shop that does the rest of my service. That way I'm also not having to transport tires either.

I have wondered that also. The tires you have on your car are outside and subject to the elements, even more so if you don't have a garage to park in. It doesn't seem to make sense that keeping them outside would do any serious damage. If I had to store them outside though, I'd at least put them in garbage bags so they're not getting grungy or have birds or creepy crawlies using them as shelter.
Alternatively, I am sure some enterprising company has made outdoor furniture that could fit tires in. Or build a rack out of 2x4s. There are plans on the net.
This doesn't look bad and won't make your yard look ghetto. ( http://www.sears.com/kurgo-tire-stor...irectType=SRDT)

Obvious solution is to just have one vehicle for winter, and one vehicle for summer.
I have a small storage unit that I use for stuff like tires, car parts, christmas decorations, etc. Anything that doesn't need to be around the house for 90% of the year. Always thought those things were a waste of money until I got one. Love it

After some reading, I guess the kicker with storing tires is making sure the weight doesn't stay on one part of the tire, something about squeezing the oils out and drying out the rubber. Bagging them and stacking them flat is apparently your best bet.

I would totally get one if it wasn't so insanely expensive. How much is yours? Most of what I've seen is $2000/yr. I can justify a shed in the yard for that much.

$110 a month for 50 sqft. Agreed though I'd much rather have a shed, and I will once I move. But for now I find this unit well worth it.

No room to store seasonal tires? Buy an extra vehicle for it!
Only in Oil Rich Alberta where $100k+/yr avg Salary earner would give you this answer

Is that supposed to be an insult or a compliment?

As long as theft is not a real concern and if you keep the tires covered, it should be fine to store them outside. Storing them in a shed will expose them to extreme cold as well.

A bike lock running through the 4 20" rims and 185/55/20 rubber along the side of the shed would be pretty darn hard to steel. I'd like to see someone try to pick that up.
