How Many Years Can Unused Tires Be Stored?

[BradyLee]

Unused tires can be stored for 4 to 5 years, with a maximum of no more than 5 years. The functions of tires are: 1. To support the entire weight of the vehicle and bear the load of the car; 2. To transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, thereby improving the car's power performance, braking performance, and off-road capability; 3. To prevent severe vibrations and early damage to automotive components. The steps for replacing tires are: 1. After parking and turning off the engine, use the handbrake to secure the vehicle; 2. Place heavy objects in front of and behind the wheels to prevent sliding, and set up a triangular warning sign behind the car; 3. Use a wrench to loosen the screws of the tire to be replaced in a diagonal pattern; 4. Place the jack on the side where the tire needs to be replaced and lift the vehicle to a certain height; 5. Remove the screws and take off the tire; 6. Install the spare tire or new tire and tighten the screws in a diagonal pattern; 7. Lower the vehicle by releasing the jack and ensure that the screws and nuts are properly tightened.
