How can you protect your car tires from damage?

The answer is simple: you need to position the tires correctly.

Which option for storing tires is better - vertical or horizontal

The answer to this question depends on whether there are disks.

Tires with disks must be placed horizontally, placing the tires one on top of the other, reports TUT NOVOSTI .

Periodically, it is necessary to change the places of tires stored in this way: redistribute the load.

If the car tires are not mounted on rims, then you should choose a vertical storage option.

In other words, don't lay the tires on the floor, but stand them up. From time to time, "turn" each tire a few degrees. This, again, is necessary for proper load distribution.

If you follow all the above recommendations, your summer tires will not become deformed.
