Tire storage
Any suggestions on what to store my tires in? 55 gallon bags are not big enough to hold a 335-35-17.

???? What are the bags for? I just put mine in a tire rack in the garage. Am I missing something?

Cut the 55 gallon bags and tape two bags around tire. Keep off of concrete, out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat vents.

In my basement I lay some 2x4's on the floor and stack the tires on them.

The primary cause of rubber degradation is ozone. Ozone is generated by transformes, brushed motors, and some other electronic devices. Keep your tires bagged and away from them when they are stored.

It would be awesome if the answer is "because the garage is full"
