Tire Totes for 305 Tires
Looking for tire totes that will fit 305 section tires. Spoke with Tire Rack today and the ones they sell will only fit 295’s. Person there said they wouldn’t work on 305’s. Any sources? Thanks.

I bought these when we still lived in a condo: https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/50010019.html
They are great if you need to move winter/summer setups frequently, but overkill if you just need to store loose tires. They comfortably hold my 295s; call Suncoast to confirm 305s will fit.

I cut a roll of kitchen plastic wrap in half, then wrapped my tires. It’s a cheap easy solution.
There are chemicals that will evaporate off the tire, so putting them in a bag or wrapping them will help extend their life.

Since heat and exposure to the elements are the important factors that influence a tire's aging process, drivers can prolong their tire's life by minimizing their impact. Here are some tips for storing tires that will not be used continuously.

Since heat and exposure to the elements are the important factors that influence a tire's aging process, drivers can prolong their tire's life by minimizing their impact. Here are some tips for storing tires that will not be used continuously.
- Don't store a vehicle with weight on its tires for extended periods of time. Long-term inactivity is more harmful to tires than weekly drives that flex the tires and help maintain oil dispersion within the rubber compounds.
- Keep the tires out of direct sunlight whenever possible. The sun's ultraviolet rays and radiant heat are detrimental to rubber. We have used a pyrometer to measure tires that were simply sitting in direct sunlight on a parked vehicle. Surprisingly those tires' temperatures measured 135° Fahrenheit on their surface.
- Before storing, use a tire brush to clean each tire with soap and water to remove brake dust, dirt and grime. If the tires are still mounted on wheels, use a wheel brush to clean the wheels with an approved cleaner as well. Dry with a towel and let any remaining moisture thoroughly evaporate.
DO NOT APPLY ANY TIRE DRESSINGS. Tire compounds are formulated to resist ozone cracking or weather checking. - Place each clean and dry tire in its own large, opaque, airtight plastic bag (such as lawn and garden bags) for storing. Avoid allowing any moisture to remain and remove as much air as practical (some drivers even use a vacuum cleaner to draw out as much as possible). Close the bag tightly and tape it shut. This places the tire in its own personal mini-atmosphere to help reduce oil evaporation.
