Storage Made Simple: Seasonal Solutions for your Off-Season Tires

As the seasons change, so does the need for different tires. And when it comes time to switch them out, how you store your off-season set makes all the difference. Here’s how taking good care of your tires can help them go the distance.

Tires are tough, but they’re not invincible. Exposure to heat, UV light, outdoor elements and freezing and thawing cycles can take a toll on the performance and appearance of your tires. The best way to store tires is in a temperature-controlled environment to extend their life span and protect them from cracking, drying out or degrading.

When you take care of your tires, they last a lot longer, which can save you a lot of money over time. Proper seasonal tire storage is a win for you and your wallet!

Seasons change sooner than you think, so you want your off-season tires to be in great shape whenever you need them. Storing them properly will set you up for a smooth tire changeover, no matter what’s in store for the season ahead.

Don’t want to deal with your vehicle’s heavy, dirty tires? Want to keep the interior of your garage and Toyota clean? We can help you with that. If you choose to store your tires at a designated storage space, such as at your local Toyota Dealer, you won’t just save space, you’ll also ensure your tires get the best possible care.

Many Toyota Dealers offer the convenience of storing your off-season tires for you. With specialized equipment and climate-controlled, UV light-free facilities, your Dealer will ensure your tires stay in prime condition so they’re ready for the upcoming season.
