Well, I mean I want to know if it can support the weight of both as they're quite heavy. If it just rips then it's pointless, isn't it?Dhanushan wrote: ↑ This is a tote
"A heavy-duty shell with an easy-to carry handle slips over the tire and rim to protect your clothing and car interior from grime, while organizing your garage."
"Holds up to 37 kg (80 lb.)"
Did you think this was a tire rack?

+1. Same question from me too.Variability wrote: ↑ Well, I mean I want to know if it can support the weight of both as they're quite heavy. If it just rips then it's pointless, isn't it?
Why would this matter if tires are indoors away from sunlight?angryaudifanatic wrote: ↑ Tires need to be stored in a *SEALED BAG*. These tire totes are fine but you all should be covering them in a big garbage bag first. Otherwise all you're doing is making your tires look decent in a tote but doing NOTHING to actually 'prolong' their life.
I don't use totes to store any of my tires - always in big Costco sized garbage bags and sealed/wrapped tight. Google it.
*facepalm*. Other than common sense, how hard is it to Google things. I mean, I literally put that in my post!CanadianConsumerYEG wrote: ↑ Why would this matter if tires are indoors away from sunlight?
I never do this. My tires must be death traps...angryaudifanatic wrote: ↑ *facepalm*. Other than common sense, how hard is it to Google things. I mean, I literally put that in my post!

4. Keep each tire in an airtight plastic bag.
Aside from sunlight, the next leading tire deteriorator is oxygen. Some things in storage require airflow to breathe and stay in good condition. Tires, on the other hand, do better when they are vacuum sealed in plastic. An airtight space prevents oxygen from reaching the tires, slows down the oxidation process, and prevents the oil from evaporating and drying out the tires. Remember to wrap each tire individually for the best results.
Heck, take it from Continental themselves!

2. After cleaning, place each tire in its own large, airtight plastic bag (lawn and leaf bags work well here) for storing. Avoid any moisture in the bag and remove as much air as possible. Close the bag tightly with tape to create a personal space for each tire. This helps to reduce oil evaporation.

Right up there with not doing brake fluid flushes. Anyway all this to state I don't get why people on RFD buy these tire totes. They serve no purpose. Might as well stack these tires bare one on top of another. It does the same as using totes.CanadianConsumerYEG wrote: ↑ I never do this. My tires must be death traps...
It is very sturdy. I have been using them in the past decade and I have 16", 17", 18" and 20" rims, though 20" is a bit too big for the totes.icemannn123 wrote: ↑ +1. Same question from me too.
I've been using these with 19" rims for about 5 years or so and they have worked with no issues.Variability wrote: ↑ Anyone who has these, can they support tires with rims?
