Default Tire Storage Bags

Been searching for a while and can't seem to find a decent set of tire storage bags (disposable type), for my summer tires/wheels that can be sealed while in the basement. Largest ones I've seen for an SUV seem to be too small. Tires are 19" and 305's. Anyone have this problem? What did you use?

I didn't see any plastic tire storage bags, just the nylon ones. Looking for plastic bags that can be sealed.

Why do you need them to be sealed? It's actually better to let some air move around them. If you are going to seal up, fine...just make sure they are clean and dry first. Otherwise if there is any salt in the moisture it could actually attack the wheel while in storage. I did it myself: I stored my winter wheels in my barn all summer in the sealed trash bags that the installers put them into when they came off my car last spring. I didn't realize at the time that they were wet and then proceeded to roll them into my barn where they literally boiled all summer. The wheel finish was ruined when I unpackaged them to re-install in November. Poke some holes in the bags.

I use super huge trash bags. Use a vac to suck out the air, tie wrap closed. Seems to work fine. Probably minimal improvement, but it’s easy. I do get them nice and clean, and get them dry before bagging.
