Wheel storage bags

Anybody know of some good quality wheel storage bags?

Going to be swapping over to winters soon and could do with some bags to store the summers in.

Thanks

So I just swapped my tires (tyres ) yesterday. The shop that did it just had some plastic bags specially made for tires. They're basically garbage bags in the shape of the tires. These work fine for temporary storage IMO, and I'm sure they can be found somewhere in the UK. If not, ordering from the US and shipping would cost next to nothing.

The tire rack ones are more long term. They would last many seasons I imagine.

Good luck!

Yeah it's not absolutely necessary I guess, but they'd look nicer


Thanks for the reply though

Switching to a winter set (tyres only) soon.

I too was thinking about this.

As I will be storing tyres only, not rims - I think I'm just gonna go for clear parcel wrap plus this below

Love the look of these and it値l be perfect for you if just storing the tyres.

Surprised it shows them storing rims too though - if tyres have the rims, it痴 recommended to store flat, not upright. Suppose it値l be okay short term though.

Yeah looks good

I did see something about that.

Wheels + tyres = flat
Just tyres = upright

Wasn't sure on the reasoning behind it though... to combat flat spots maybe with the extra weight of wheels? Not sure...
