Where do people store tyres when not in use. I get that it's vertical off the rim and laid down if on. But where do you keep them that's not too hot in summer. Do you bag them or wrap them in something? is the loft too hot (mines as hot as Hades in the summer), can you keep them outside?

I left my spare set outside raised on a couple of 4x2 sticks as I don't have a garage 
As long as the sidewalls aren't cracked/perished I keep using them without a problem  D3 57 xs Stornaway grey
D2 02 commercial silver gone but a great servant and won't be forgotten

Bagged or wrapped? Presumably in the shade / Under cover?

The loft is definitely not the place  outside in the shade, covered with something to shield them from uv rays would be a start. I keep a couple in the shed, covered, but even that could be a bit warm in summer. No room in my garage, full of D3 spare engine / gearbox/ diffs / compressor/ suspension arms etc. SWMBO is hoping the engine topples on me soon D3 owned from new, P017 brake recall, BAS FBHIC, new FBH, LR013487 oil pump, new water pump. RRS front lower suspension arms. New suspension compressor/ relay. New Denso alternator. CuNifer rear brake pipes. New GKN rear propshaft. New HPFP belt & tensioner. New A/C Condenser.NO WARRANTY for many many years.

Buckster, I presume your tyres are stored on rims then. I have some tyres only to store, I reckon I'll wrap then in plastic - or do they need to breath...
