When should you store your tyres?
If your tyres are left outside, unused for long periods of time (one month or more), their surfaces will become dry and surface cracks may appear.
It is therefore recommended to store them in a cool, dry and clean indoor environment.
Winter tyre storage
When the outside temperature rises above 7°C, the rubber of your winter tyres softens under the effect of the heat. As a result, it wears out more quickly and your tyres become less efficient. This is why it is recommended to store your winter tyres and fit your summer tyres.
Summer tyre storage
Conversely, when temperatures fall below 7°C, the rubber of summer tyres hardens, resulting in a loss of handling properties. This is the time when it becomes necessary to store your summer tyres and fit your winter tyres.
