| Tire Storage
Long story short, my parents are complaining that my tires are too big to store in the house this winter.
Is there anywhere that stores tires for cheap?
Is it ok for me to store it outside the house?
Reason is I only have a car port and no garage so can't store it there either.
TIA

If they're not race tires, I probably would just leave it outside.

I leave my winter tires in the garage when not using them. No bags or anything just stacked. You should be fine leaving them outside. Maybe cover them and make sure they can't be stolen?

Berz out. | exactly. what's the difference? on your car or just stacked outside, they're both OUTSIDE. shouldn't hurt them one bit 'cept the whole theft part.

The only thing you should worry about is the weathering that happens inside the tire.
