Tire Storage - Totes and Bags ???

[USA1C5]

I just ordered some CCW wheels with Hoosier R6's mounted. The rear tires (the largest) are 26.8" diameter and 13.9" (approx. 355mm) wide. I was looking at some items from Tire Rack.

First is their Tire Tote. http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/detail.jsp?ID=62 They say will fit tires up to 31" diameter and 295mm section width. Well my tire are wider but 3" less in diameter. Anyone able to use these on wider tires than is advertized. I was thinking my tires being wider but smaller diameter maybe they fit. Anyone know?

Second item I was looking at is their tire bag they call Tire Garage. http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/detail.jsp?ID=60 They say they fit up to 27" diameter, I'm good there, but they don't say how tall a stack of tires can fit. With my four tire set up I would have a stack of tires 51" tall. Anybody know?

If anyone has either of these items can you give me any information on size of tires they can take. Thanks.

As a last resort I guess I could call or email Tire Rack or maybe they see this post and chime in. Thanks again.

and the tire garage can hold a stack of tires up to 42" tall maybe even a bit taller if the tires are smaller in diameter but, won't reach to 51"

Thanks for info.

One last question. With that large a tire, will the Wheel Felts (http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/detail.jsp?ID=76) work with the Tire Totes? Ad says Wheel Felt is 20" Dia. but the opening may be bigger than that on a large tire. Just an assumption on my part, I don't know.

Work like a champ on on my 345/35/18s no less.

Also work fine with my 275/40/17s




And my CCW skinny fronts.



And I use them cause I take the PS seat out of my vert to go to the strip with my drs..........

I probably shouldnt have bought new tires now as I wont be using them till may but will these help in any way storing new tires inside the home for a few months?

Hmmm ... I need a set of these ... the felts will also work with the 345/30-19????

I have 2 345/30/19 and 2 275/35/18

felts are 20" in diameter so, they would work providing the wheel is smaller than 20"

but, some 19" wheels would have a small area of the lip exposed
