Does anyone know if storing tires in the attic is a bad idea? Didn't have much room in the garage so decided to shove them up there. It gets pretty hot up there during the Texas summers so wanted to check with tire experts if this would hurt the stock s02s. Thanks!

 

Hi Jim, can you help answer my concerns? thanks!

 

For the best longevity, tires should be stored in a cool, dark location not subject to high ozone concentrations (like near an electric motor). If it's your only choice, the attic will have to do, but I wouldn't do it unless there's no other solution.

 

what will happen to the tires if they are in the attic??? espcialy in FL

 

Attics are hot and protracted heat is not good for tire longevity, especially in Florida .

 

i have all my S03's sitting in my garage, but i don't have anymore room for my stock rims with S02's so thats the only place they can go

 

Actually in FL I think the biggest problem with the attic would be the heat and MOISTURE.

Last I checked it gets pretty humid in FL and mildew could be a concern.

 

Thanks for the reply, looks like the S02s will have to go in the guest bedroom

 

CoralDoc is correct on all points. The heat will make the tires dry rot and harden. The best would be the spare bedroom stacked one on top of the next.

well i guess i will have to move them out of the attic.
