The benefits of entrusting your tire storage to professionals
As a vehicle owner, you’re probably aware that in Quebec, switching between winter and summer tires is mandatory by law. Twice a year, you must not only have the right tires installed but also think about storing the other set until the next season. While some people choose to store their tires at home, an increasing number of drivers prefer to leave this task to professionals. Find out why in this article.
The Main Benefits of Entrusting Tire Storage to Professionals
There are many benefits to storing your tires in a professional garage, the main ones being:
- Protect Your Tires from Poor Storage Conditions
One of the main advantages of professional tire storage is the quality of the environment in which the tires are kept. Ideal tire storage conditions include a dry, cool space, protected from direct sunlight, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. Unfortunately, in poorly insulated residential garages or sheds exposed to the elements, these conditions are rarely met. On the other hand, a professional garage provides suitable premises with controlled temperature and proper ventilation, extending the life of your tires.
- Reduce the Risk of Damage
Improper tire storage at home can cause physical damage such as deformation, cuts, or flattening of the sidewalls if the tires are stacked or improperly positioned.
Professional centers use suitable supports (racks, hooks, pallets) and adhere to best practices for each type of tire, whether mounted on rims or not.
- Facilitate Seasonal Tire Changes
Professionals who offer storage services typically provide a hassle-free experience during seasonal changes. This means that when it’s time to change your tires, they’re already on-site, ready to be installed, saving you the hassle of transporting heavy, often dirty tires.
- Benefit from Professional Monitoring
In many cases, storage centers offer ongoing monitoring of your tires’ condition, including wear, recommended pressure, and tread depth. Some even notify you when a replacement may be needed soon. This type of service contributes to your road safety by ensuring your tires are in good condition without you needing to inspect them yourself.
- Free Up Space at Home
Storing tires yourself isn’t always easy. Four tires mounted on rims can take up a lot of space in a garage, shed, or basement. It becomes even more cumbersome if you have to manage multiple vehicles in the household. By entrusting this task to a professional, you free up space at home for other uses, while ensuring that your tires are in good hands.
- Get the Most Out of Your Tires
Tires represent a significant investment in vehicle maintenance. By entrusting them to experts for storage, you maximize their useful lifespan, which allows you to save money in the long term. Indeed, optimal storage reduces wear due to premature aging, inappropriate conditions, or poor handling.
