“
No Enter
” sign if the tires are stored outside the warehouse.

Store the tires in a dry and clean place. Water can oxidize a tire,
and dirt and oil can erode a tire. No light, heat insulation or
ventilation are needed for storage. Cover the tires with a canvas,
plastic or other anti-dust cloth. The wrong storage method can
greatly reduce the quality and life of tires.

Stand the tire on level ground and use a wedge to lock it to prevent it falling down. The
quality may be reduced if the tire is laid on its side. The tire should be rotated (90

engineering mechanisms are generally very heavy, and you may be seriously hurt.
