Storing Tesla wheels is the step we tend to rush through on the day we finally fit our winter tyres. Yet four summer wheels that have been stored incorrectly for five months can end up warped, pitted or cracked. Cleaning, positioning and storage location: here are the rules to ensure they\u2019re still in perfect condition come spring.<\/p>\n

\"Stockage<\/p>\n

Storing Tesla wheels: it all starts with cleaning<\/h2>\n

Never store a dirty wheel. Brake dust \u2013 fine and metallic \u2013 becomes embedded in the rim\u2019s finish and will eventually corrode it if left for several months. Rinse the wheels, then apply a ferrous decontaminant such asIron 7 HD Alchimy 7<\/a> (\u20ac16.90), which dissolves these particles without the need for scrubbing. Finish by using a soft brush between the spokes, then rinse thoroughly. Take this opportunity to inspect each tyre: bulges, cuts or uneven wear are much easier to spot on a clean wheel.<\/p>\n

Dry and mark each position<\/h2>\n

Leave them to dry completely before storing: moisture trapped inside a cover can cause corrosion of the valve nuts and mounting surfaces. Then mark each wheel with chalk or a label: AVG, AVD, ARG, ARD. In the spring, this labelling allows you to sensibly rotate the least-worn tyres to the front or rear, depending on your drive system. Also note the tread depth measured, to track wear from one season to the next.<\/p>\n

Flat or suspended?<\/h2>\n

A complete wheel, with the tyre mounted on the rim, should be stored flat, stacked in piles of no more than four, or suspended by the rim from a suitable hook. Avoid leaving them standing upright for several months without rotating them: the weight will always rest on the same area of the tyre. When storing Tesla wheels flat, place a piece of cardboard or a board under the stack rather than on bare, cold and damp concrete. Maintain a tyre pressure close to the recommended operating pressure.<\/p>\n

\"D\u00e9contaminant<\/p>\n

The right place to store your wheels<\/h2>\n

Rubber is sensitive to light, heat and ozone. Choose a dry, dark and temperate location: a well-ventilated cellar, an insulated garage or a storeroom. Avoid placing them near a boiler, compressor or electric motor, as these produce ozone and accelerate the ageing of the tyre sidewalls. Storage bags for 4 wheels<\/a> (\u20ac29.90) protect against dust and UV rays, and make it easier to carry them to the boot. In a flat, a cupboard or a covered balcony can do the trick, provided you protect the wheels from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations: slip them into their covers and place them on an insulated surface; never leave them directly on a damp floor.<\/p>\n
