So.. where are people storing their spare tyres?

I thought... that the wall would make a nice place. So just stuck them up there just now. It's one way to avoid the kids demanding things from me.. got to look busy!

Let's see your storage places!

I use a Toomax Storaway 2270L storage thingy (annoyingly the better brand alternatives were out of stock at the time) - just ordered a rack so as to mount the complete wheel sets without certain parts of the tyre being under long term pressure. (I'll get a picture when I've properly set it up).

They're all piled up in the back corner of my garage with a sheet over them to stop the UV damaging them.

I did make a 2 tier rack on casters to store 2 full sets of wheels but i found it got in the way and i was forever moving it around, it's been much easier to just pile them up in 1 stack in the corner.

Also got another full set of wheels and tyres which is just stored outside my garage with weeds growing through them now :( i need to get round to selling them at some point...

Not a wind up at all...
Part worn tyres which are emergency spares.
My wife wants me to chuck some soil in them and plant some strawberries.... I may just do it hahaha

In all seriousness. I'll be putting a UV cover over them. They will be fine.

i do just that having a son now grown up into drifting and retiring from business have gained loads of part worn /scrap tyres , so started bolting 3 at a time together through the sidewalls and using them as planters, with soil or even just placing large tubs in the top with veg in :)
 
I found the surface of them gets very slippery after being stored for a while. They should be kept out of sun light really. From new they have some kind of protective layer on them

You missed the opportunity of a life time. Mounting two tyres immediately above the hose taps would have produced the most epic **** doodle. The single yellow hose coming off it would have even made the perfect stream of urine.

Fix it.
 
Just chuck them in the garage. I have my original Bridgestone RFTs like this and will swap them over if I ever sell my car
 
I think the OP is a wind up but I'll answer honestly.

Knocked something up with some spare timber and covered with a tarp and wedged up against the shed out of view.
