Storing Summer Tires? Here’s Your Go-To Guide!
Living in New York means you might need to supply your vehicle with a new set of tires at the beginning of a new season. Especially when those seasons are summer and winter filled with extreme temperatures. And while we hope that you’ve already swapped your summer tires for a fresh new set of winter ones or all-terrain, we know that they might still be sitting, improperly stored somewhere in your home or garage. We’re here to tell you no worries but we want to help ensure the lifespan of your tires which will save you money in the long run. So, this week we are bringing to you our go-to guide for how to properly store your winter tires! Check out that guide below and give us a call if you have any questions or you’re in need of a new set of tires!
Step 1: Cleaning your tires is a vital role in keeping them healthy and happy. So, give them a good scrub with proper cleaning supplies and a brush that will help reach into those nooks and crannies your wheels have! You want to be very strict about cleaning. This gunk might look harmless but it can be deceptively corrosive. Also, don’t be afraid to look over your tires to ensure there is no uneven wear and tear, cracks, or bulging.
Step 2: Cover each tire in a bag big enough that it can be closed and will not expose the tire. You can choose between industrial size garbage bags or search the web for specifically designed bags for this purpose. Once the tires are placed inside, seal the bag and remove as much air as you can possible.
Step 3: Now is a good time to locate a good place to store your tires. Do not place them in a spot outdoors or in an area that is subject to temperature swings. Covered or not, extreme temperatures can damage tires and will lead to drastic effects. Also, keep your tires away from motors that produce ozone. These, too, can cause damage to your tires. These are things like your furnace, hot water heater, or sump pump. Look for an area that is climate controlled, cool and dry, and will not experience drastic humidity levels.
Step 4: Stacking the tires is the last step when it comes to storing. While we hope you covered your tires, we understand that not everyone does. If that is the case, stack your tires white to white and black to black. Without wheels, lay tires flat and stack one atop the other. With wheels, place them vertically next to one another. In both situations, rotate once a month to help reduce pressure on either wheel or tire.

Winter Car Care Tips To Keep Your Ride In Check!
Living here in New York means that you have to prepare your vehicle for those frigid temperatures that are quickly approaching. While you’re are probably dreading those winter months, there is still time to get you ready for those weather conditions and get your vehicle ready, as well. Take a look at our tips below and stop by our page to schedule your appointment with our service department today before it’s too late!
Lighting – winter months are known for being very dark. If your vehicle has a poor lighting system, dead lightbulbs, or dim lights, now is the time to replace or upgrade those lights to ensure a bright winter. Don’t get caught in the dark because of neglect, swap out your old lights or invest in a restoration kit if your lights look dirty or dim.
Dead Battery – cold temperatures are known for pushing an almost dead battery over the edge. We recommend having your battery tested and replaced before those temperatures drop even more. Don’t leave yourself stranded due to a dead battery, get it tested today!
Tires – it will most likely snow at some point this winter and your tires play a very important role in getting you to your destination safely. Whether your tires are all-seasons or not, now is the time to check the tread and make sure they are in proper condition. If you need to replace them, choose a set that are designed for winter weather conditions.
Fluids – coolant, gasoline, windshield washer fluid. These are a few fluids that you should have checked and filled before we run into winter weather. Coolant will keep your vehicle’s engine from freezing (and overheating in the summer months). Choose a washer fluid for winter weather to keep your windshield from freezing over when you need to wash dirt and debris off your windshield. Always keep your tank filled to prevent water from freezing inside your fuel pump and to keep you warm in case you need to wait for help in the event of an emergency.
Survival Kit – although this one isn’t a car care tip, it is a necessary preparedness tip. Whether you already have an emergency kit in your vehicle or not, now is the time to get one or update that kit. Pack items like a phone charger, ice scraper, flashlight, jumper cables, warm clothing, a knife, and a first aid kit. Always keep your ice scraper handy in case you have to get into your trunk or engine and it has frozen over.
