As the seasons change, so does the need for different tires. And when it comes time to switch them out, how you store your off-season set makes all the difference. Here’s how taking good care of your tires can help them go the distance.
PROTECTING YOUR TIRES PREVENTS DAMAGE
Tires are tough, but they’re not invincible. Exposure to heat, UV light, outdoor elements and freezing and thawing cycles can take a toll on the performance and appearance of your tires. The best way to store tires is in a temperature-controlled environment to extend their life span and protect them from cracking, drying out or degrading.
MAXIMIZE THEIR VALUE
When you take care of your tires, they last a lot longer, which can save you a lot of money over time. Proper seasonal tire storage is a win for you and your wallet!
YOUR TIRES WILL ALWAYS BE READY TO ROLL
Seasons change sooner than you think, so you want your off-season tires to be in great shape whenever you need them. Storing them properly will set you up for a smooth tire changeover, no matter what’s in store for the season ahead.

Think you need new tires? Check your tread wear with a Toonie
Insert a toonie into a tire groove with the polar bear’s feet facing in. If you see the top half of the letters or more on the silver rim, your tire tread may be too low to maintain proper traction.
If you do need new tires for the season ahead, we can help you find the right set at the right price. Visit our Toyota Tire Centre for recommendations and offers, including rebates from 17 tire manufacturers.
