Tire Storage

All tires should be stored in accordance with the following recommendations:

1. Avoid storing tires in direct sunlight.

2. Avoid storing tires near a heat source or in the path of a direct flow of forced air.

3. Keep tires away from electric motors and generators which produce ozone.

4. Do not store near petroleum products or chemicals (such as oil, grease, gasoline, solvent, etc.).

5. Limit horizontal stacking to a maximum of 5 feet in height.

6. Store unmounted tires indoors in a dry location. All steel radial tires may be severely damaged due to the presence of moisture inside the tire at mounting. Upon pressurization, this moisture can permeate into the casing of the tire and cause severe deterioration of the steel cord.

7. Prior to mounting, inspect the inside surfaces of the tire and remove all foreign material and moisture.

8. Keep compressed air sources for tire inflation free of moisture.

Failure to follow the above recommendations could result in sudden tire failure, property damage and personal injury.
