How Long Do Tires Last in Storage?

Tires can last up to five to ten years in storage under the right conditions. To maximize a tire’s lifespan, it’s best to keep tires in a dry, dark, and cool place to help protect them from damage caused by extreme temperatures, humidity, sunlight, and ozone exposure. Keep in mind that tire rubber degrades over time even in storage, so it’s generally recommended that tires be replaced around six years after their production date.

Please note: Extra Space Storage does not allow standalone tires to be stored in a storage unit. Tires may only be stored at Extra Space when they are attached to a vehicle stored in an approved vehicle storage space.

How Long Do Bicycle Tires Last in Storage?

At Extra Space Storage, standalone bicycle tires are not permitted in storage units. However, bicycle tires may be stored when they are attached to a bicycle that is stored in accordance with facility guidelines.

How Long Do Motorcycle Tires Last in Storage?

When stored properly, motorcycle tires can last around five to six years in storage—though it’s generally recommended to replace them around this time due to the rubber’s natural aging, even if they haven’t been used. As with other tires, motorcycle tires should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry environment to help protect them from heat, sunlight, and moisture. At Extra Space Storage, standalone motorcycle tires are not allowed in storage units. Tires may only be stored when attached to a motorcycle stored in an approved vehicle storage space.

Can I Store Tires in a Storage Unit?
