Storing tires?

[yuroshek]

Hey guys im about to re-do my garage aka "The Mancave" and I have tires... tons of tires! Right now they are stacked about 40 tall, not the best way. Its pretty hard to select a tire from the bottom or mid pack of the pile.

SO how do you guys store your tires? Do you hang them? or what? post pictures if you want!

heres my stack of tires right now.

Don't they perish/go hard on you? I try not to store them for too long for that reason.

do you have this system in your garage?

I ususally chuck the worn ones and take the half worn ones to the bike shop. Its one of those things I feel bad for throwing them away when theyre getting worn but I know I will just buy new tires when the time comes instead of keeping old ones. Different types of tires that are in good shape i just hang off the wall with universal storage hangers from the hardware store

Utilizing the green filing cabinet (aka garbage can) for about half of those tires would keep you out of the Hoarding category. Home Depot sells some pretty cool T style hangers that can be hung from your ceiling for the other half.

I try to not have 40 tires on hand? But for the 10 or so I do keep I've got them piled.

3 J-hooks into the 2x4s in the ceiling and a peice of PVC pipe. Slide the tires on and put it in the j-hooks.
Im down to 14 tires on it now but have had 30 this season on it and they hang perfectly.
PVC flexes and with 3 j-hooks if you need a tire to right of center hook just undo the right end up and out the PVC flexes and you can slide a few off and then hook it up again...

Not too mention use 1" and it will fit between spare wheelset spokes so you can hang wheelsets as well.

Maybe you should make a fort. This way, you could hide from everyone, even though nobody is looking for you.

Do you have any wall space where you can bolt in straight hooks? Put a line of them in and just throw 4 or so tires on each one.
