This is my first RWD car and I need to store my summer tire/wheel set while using the winter setup. Is there a proper way to store them? I have a plenty of room either in the garage or the basement. I'm just not sure if I should hang them or keep them on the floor side ways or standing up.

Thanks!

since I don't have basement or garage
I just keep them on the floor in my house

I've keep mine stacked one on top of the other (on their sides!)in my basement. I just keep a piece of cardboard between each one so as to not damage my rims. Since they're not actually on a car or supporting any real weight, it really doesn't matter how you store them, just keep them covered and protect your rims from any potential damage.

really???

if U dont have a wheel stand, just stack them one on top of the other, inflated. But definitely dont leave them standing, the long standing w/o any movement could deform the tires

+1. I did this until I got the storage holders and felt protector things from tirerack. Now they are easier to keep clean and carry around when I need to move them.

After reading your post, I looking at picking up the storage holders and felt things. Do you use 2 felt things per tire or just one? They look like a good solution for storing and transport.

Thanks!

I used one felt thing per tire. I put it over the face because if you put it on the backside it would just cave in, and you really dont have anything to protect there.
