How to Store Snow Tires After Removal?
1 Answers
Snow tires should be stored in a ventilated, clean, cool, dry, and dark indoor space. When storing snow tires, avoid direct sunlight and keep them away from heat sources and ozone sources. Since tires are rubber products, ensure they do not come into contact with oil, acids, flammable materials, or chemical corrosive substances during storage, as this may cause corrosion, deformation, or softening. Snow tires are designed specifically for icy and snowy weather. In terms of appearance, they differ from regular or unidirectional tires. Snow tires feature asymmetric directional tread patterns with more grooves. The proportion of grooves on the tire surface is higher, which improves water drainage. Snow tires have numerous fine grooves, typically at least 1,000, compared to around 200 on regular tires.
