Tire Storage in Edmonton Made Easy — Clean, Secure & Affordable
It is the standard practice in Edmonton for drivers to change from winter tires to summer tires, but what is done with the tires that aren’t currently in season? While it may seem convenient to store them in your garage or on your balcony, such tires can wear out quickly if not stored properly.
To ensure your tires are in optimal condition until their season arrives, we, at Driver Tires, offer the best climate-controlled tire storage in Edmonton.
Why Proper Tire Storage Matters
Tires originate from rubber, which makes them susceptible to temperature, light, and moisture. Once stored wrongly by being exposed to sunlight, humidity, and changing temperature, or put under pressure, the tires can:
- Easily break or crack
- Lose their structure
- Become deflated
- Degrade ahead of time
The specialized rubber compounds in your tires are engineered to stay flexible, but environmental stress causes essential oils to evaporate, leading to ‘dry rot.’ Without a climate-controlled environment, the internal steel belts can also suffer from oxidation, permanently compromising the tire’s integrity and road-holding capabilities.
Improper storage not only shortens their lifespan but can also affect your safety and vehicle performance. It costs more to replace a set that deteriorated prematurely than to opt for professional storage.
What Are the Proper Tire Storage Conditions?
Professional tire storage doesn’t just entail gathering tires in a storage facility but also requires proper environmental controls to keep the tires in good condition.
At Driver Tires, we maintain:
- Dry storage: Consistent temperature between 10–18°C to protect against heat-induced deterioration.
- Humidity control: Keep humidity below 60% to reduce the risk of moisture-related damage
- Shielded from Light & Ozone: Tires are stored in UV-free environments, keeping the rubber from aging
- Correct Positioning: We store tires upright on racks, and never under pressure
- Thorough Cleaning: Each tire is cleaned before storage to eliminate road salt, grime, and debris that could damage the rubber or wheels
From storing ordinary tires to tires on rims, our services follow standards set out by manufacturers like Bridgestone, Michelin, Continental and more.
