After changing the summer tyres with winter tyres or vice versa, you will always have a set of tyres left. It is important to keep these tyres clean and safe, so you can use them again next season. To keep the tyres in a good condition, you can put a tyre cover over them. Another option is to purchase a tyre stand. Using a tyre stand tree you can stack your tyres without them getting deformed.
Tyre stands
When you have changed the car tyres and you´re left with an unused set of summer or winter tyres, it is important that you not just put them on top of each other as a way of storage. When car tyres are on top of each other, they can deform. If the tyres are on top of each other for a longer period of time, moist can?t escape. Resulting that the tyres can?t be used again next season. With a tyre stand you prevent your tyres from deforming or becoming porous through moisture accumulation. With a tyre stand tree, the tyres are not on top of each other, but separated by the use of ?floors? or ?separators?. These allow the moisture to escape and keep the tyres from deforming. With a tyre stand you can store the tyres clean and safely. With some rim trees a tyre cover is included so that they are also well protected against dust and dirt. In addition, you can easily place a wheel tree anywhere. Some rim trees are even mobile.
A suitable tyre stand is available for every type of tyre or rim. They are available in different sizes and price ranges. Pay close attention to the weight and size of the tyres. In general, most tyres fit on a tyre rim tree, but there are exceptions.
Tyre covers
A tyre cover is a cover that you can put over the car tyres. With a tyre cover, the car tyre will be protected against dirt and dust from the direct surroundings. Transporting the tyre also becomes a lot easier when it is in a tyre cover. Most covers come with handles. Most covers also have a tyre position mark, which indicates which tyre should be in the cover. This way you can always keep the tyres apart and reassemble them in the right place when changing them next season.
