How Many Years Can Tires Be Stored?

[VonArcher]

Tires can be stored for three to four years, with a maximum of five years. The functions of tires are: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing the load; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, and improving the vehicle's power, braking, and passability; 3. Preventing severe vibrations and early damage to vehicle components. The steps to replace a tire are: 1. Park the vehicle, turn off the engine, and apply the handbrake; 2. Place heavy objects in front of and behind the wheels to prevent sliding, and set up a triangular warning sign behind the vehicle; 3. Use a wrench to loosen the lug nuts of the tire to be replaced in a diagonal pattern; 4. Place the jack on the side of the tire to be replaced and lift the vehicle to a certain height; 5. Remove the lug nuts and take off the tire; 6. Install the spare tire or new tire and tighten the lug nuts in a diagonal pattern; 7. Lower the vehicle by releasing the jack and ensure that the lug nuts are properly tightened.
