Anyone know a cheap source of tough polyethylene storage bags for tyres? For 17" 225/60s it needs to be 70x70x25cm absolute minimum - larger so they can close! They don't fit in the largest plastic sacks I can find. Ta.

Although these or these are not "cheap", they are well made, not that expensive, and will last. BMW sells similar tire storage "bags" in the US. Perhaps they are also available in Scotland or Europe.

Thanks Lotus. These would be great, if they exported. As so few people switch to winters here (http://m.whatcar.com/car-news/winter...repared/259257 ) the only ones I can find are expensive Audis. Will keep looking locally or have to ask a pond crosser to send them to me!

Buy a small store, looks better than a pile of tyres and you could put other stuff in it too

This should be big enough to stand them in and keep the sun off

Would not risk £1500 of kit in a shed round here but thanks for the thought. Also, sheds are not airtight which some advice suggests prevents damage. Dealers who "hotel" sets store them in sealed plastic I am told - trying to get this stuff but no luck yet.

I believe the only thing you have to worry about is UV that breaks down the rubber. I don't believe they tyres are stored in a vacume which would be the only way to get the air out

You can get a steel vandal proof shed, depends on the space you have

ebay seems to have covers for about 65 quid? though at these prices, the tyre hotel doesn't look to be such a bad idea?
