Storage of tyres





Dear Colleagues,

I have a number of historic car and motorcycle tyres in the RACV  Heritage 
Collection and am looking for advice/direction on how to best store them 
for the long term.

At the moment they are propped upright in wood & metal racks - with no 
base or top to accommodate the curve of each wheel - please refer to 
image.
Some of the tyres have collapsed under their own weight and the 
flexibility/elasticity of the rubber has all but gone.

Your advice on how to best store them whilst maximising the storage space 
we have would be greatly appreciated.



Kind Regards
Maria Drossos
