Where I live in Minnesota we have a storage problem.... I am looking into all possibilities and have two sets of tires for most of my vehicles... summer and winter tires.... right now I have two sets of tires in an Arrow metal shed but need the room in that shed. My idea was to buy two waterproof tire storage bags and store these on a wood platform behind my garage for the winter.... Then I read all about this and mostly from tire stores that say "don't do it...." and give a bunch of reasons relating to winter weather in Minnesota etc.... and then you start to maybe out think this a bit... if tire storage in waterproof/sunproof bags is bad, then why aren't the same conditions bad for my two trucks that sit outside all winter long? The tires on these are exposed to the sun/cold all winter long... I would seem to me that tires in a protective "bag" stored outside would be that much better... Am I missing something? And if anyone stores their tires outside in the winter, can you tell me if there is a bag from Amazon or Ebay that is better than others?
