Q
how long do tyres last in storage
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Tyres can last in storage for up to 10 years from their manufacture date, according to tyre manufacturers. However, this lifespan can be significantly shortened by poor storage conditions. Optimal storage involves keeping tyres in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ozone, and lubricants, as these can accelerate the degradation of the rubber. Tyres should ideally be stored vertically if mounted on rims and stacked or stood up if unmounted. Factors such as extreme temperatures, humidity, and contact with chemicals or petroleum products can adversely affect the rubber compound, leading to premature ageing. Regularly inspect stored tyres for signs of cracking or deformation. In practice, while a tyre might physically last up to a decade in storage, it's recommended to exercise caution and assess the tyre's condition before use if stored for extended periods.

It is generally advised by manufacturers to utilize tires within a year of their production date. This time frame remains the same. regardless of whether the tires have been previously used or not. To ensure optimal performance. properly stored tires should be utilized within six years of their manufacture date. After this period. it is recommended to have your tires checked by a professional on an annual basis.
