Is there a problem with tires parked on cement?

My past garage was cement and I used cardboard…the rest as Tom mentioned. The age of life is still 6 – 8 years, depending upon the weight off coach and exposure to UV light. I thought about using the horse trailer pads you can buy at Farm Supply and cut them to the correct size to use under my tires while in storage.

What causes irreparable damage to a tyre?

Damage to a tyre sidewall or carcass can make the tyre useless, even though the tread is hardly worn. A major cause of damage to wheels and tyres is debris on the road – such as pieces of broken silencer and objects dropped from trucks and lorries. Tyre penetration by a screw can cause irreparable damage.

What should I do if my tires are stuck on cement?

Check tires for damage and set tire pressure to maximum as indicated on the sidewall of the tire. Clean the tires using the normal, mild soap that you would use to clean your RV. If possible, raise the vehicle onto safety stands. Do not store the vehicle on the hydraulic leveling jacks.

What happens when you put a tire on the road?

While the tire is rolling along the road, the freestanding blocks deform as they approach the contact patch of the tire, and they’re compressed as they touch the tarmac. After they lose road contact, however, the blocks will snap back into their original shape, rubbing the surface as they do so.

What does it mean when your tires are flat while parked?

This condition is often called flatspotting because it is used to describe the temporary tire flat-spotting that can occur when a vehicle is parked. Many heavy-duty, high-performance, high-speed-rated and racing tires have memory. They continue to remember the position in which they were last parked after they are driven on again.
