Frequently Asked Questions
### Frequently Asked Questions about Aircraft Tire Storage
**1. What is the ideal temperature for aircraft tire storage?**
Tires should be stored in a cool, dry place with an ideal temperature range of 60–77°F (15–25°C). It’s important to avoid extremes of heat and cold.
**2. How can I control humidity during tire storage?**
Keep the humidity low to prevent moisture damage to the tires.
**3. Is it important to keep tires out of sunlight?**
Yes, tires should be kept away from direct sunlight and UV exposure, as these can degrade the rubber over time.
**4. What environmental factors should I avoid during storage?**
Avoid storing tires near electric motors, welding equipment, or chemicals, as ozone and petroleum products can damage rubber compounds.
**5. What is the best way to position tires for storage?**
Tires should be stored vertically (standing upright) on racks. This prevents distortion that can occur if they are stored flat.
**6. How should I support tires when storing them?**
Use racks with smooth, rounded supports to prevent stress on the sidewalls.
**7. Should I rotate tires in storage?**
Yes, it’s recommended to rotate tires every 3–4 months to avoid flat-spotting or deformation.
**8. How should I protect tires during storage?**
Keep tires in opaque, breathable covers that block UV light and dust, but avoid airtight plastic.
**9. What’s the difference in storing inflated and uninflated tires?**
Unmounted tires should be stored uninflated. For mounted tires on wheels, it’s advisable to slightly reduce the inflation pressure for long-term storage.
**10. Can I stack tires when storing?**
If necessary, you can stack tires, but limit it to 4 high and include plywood or protective layers between them. However, standing them upright is always preferred.
**11. How can I ensure my tires are in good condition before installation?**
Regularly inspect stored tires for cracks, flat spots, or contamination.
**12. What storage method should I follow regarding tire age?**
Follow the FIFO (First In, First Out) method and use the oldest stock first, as aircraft tires generally have a shelf life of about 10 years from the cure date, according to manufacturer guidelines.
**13. What are the best practices for handling and moving tires?**
Use tire storage racks that are adjustable for different diameters. Avoid using hooks or sharp tools to handle tires, and do not roll them across rough surfaces; instead, use dollies or racks for moving.
