Try a Kwik Fit depot. I'm sure they were advertising a tyre storage service for £45 a year. Maybe you had to get the tyres off them though
Yes Kwik Fit do this.
They don't keep them on site though, they have a central storage depot somewhere, that's why they need a few days notice when refitting the summers.

I thought this too, but the Manager at Northway Tyres (Kwikfit) says he has no room on site. He had originally told me that the wheels and tyres go to a central depot! Urgh.

Find somewhere in work  :wink:

Nooo. Not possible. It is a hospital and my office or clinic room can't be filled with wheels and tyres!

There's always somewhere in work, especially a hospital lol

What do you do btw?

My logic behind spending £1400 is that my Talladegas cost £850 EACH from VW.  
If I'm to slide into a kerb in the snow, I'd much rather do it in my £100 winter wheel!

Plus I'll feel much safer out on the roads... and possibly get to go snowboarding more since my car should be able to get to the hills without getting stuck!

Ami: Did they store your summer tyres?

Ami: They are twisting and turning. But I'll get a result somehow. I'll sell the Bridgestones and store the Monzas at home.
The wheels are there. Just waiting for the tyres. :rolleyes:
If the worst comes to the worst, I'll store them with my ex-wife. She does not use her garage. Anyway, the rubber won't protect us at our age so Ill get rid of the Bridgestones! :embarassed:

Made room at home just now. What a drama. Just for wheels. So I'll store the Monza Shadows. I've already sold the Bridgestones.
What a relief.
Or why or why did I join a forum. Running out of room, money (well not for a few years :grin:) and sense. 

Where've you stored them? my Bridegstones are resting in peace pieces in the garden shed!!
