Clean your tires and rims
Whether you’re making the switch yourself, or relying on an expert, make the task a little kinder by taking a few minutes to clear the dirt, dust and grime from your tires. All seasons can accumulate a lot of wear and tear throughout the year, and it’s important to give them a little TLC every now and then. Buy some automotive soap and get your hands a little dirty, then make sure rubber is nice and dry. Proper care can extend the life of your tires for 5-7 years. That’s worth a little scrubbing, if you ask us!
Find a good storage spot
Once removed from your vehicle, you’ll want to store your tires in a cool, dry place. The general rule of thumb is to store tires in a climate-controlled location, and away from the outside elements, sun, or machines that produce ozone (like electric motors, furnaces, and central vacuums). Whether mounted, or unmounted, tires should be stored either stacked or in the upright position (standing on their treads).
