3. Spare tires
You probably think that spare tires can safely be deposited in your outdoor shed, but think again. Just because they’re out of the way and out of direct sunlight doesn’t mean there isn’t any potential damage in there.
Your tires can be affected by unstable weather conditions, rodents, and improper storage conditions, and they can suffer deterioration. For instance, hot weather can cause dry rot, while cold weather might cause the rubber to freeze.
Since tires are pretty expensive and they’re supposed to last you a good couple of years, you don’t want to put them in a moist place. This could shorten their lifetime, and they’ll not be as effective as they should be. You can avoid all these problems by putting your spare tires in a climate-controlled storage unit or your basement (as long as they’re away from heat sources).
