In a recent article I read on how to care for tires during long term storage, it said to block the tires. Does this mean to lift them off the ground and support the axles? If so, does anyone do this? The alternative was to get the tires up off the ground to prevent absorption of ground moisture which also contributes to aging. This article suggested placing nylon blocks, similar to a nylon kitchen cutting board under each, or sheet metal over wood. What do most of you do for long term storage, i.e. over the winter, aside from covering them?
I got 2 8' redwood 2x6's, cut them in half and screwed one half on top of the other, with 2" set-back on one end. Working so far. In retrospect, I should have cut one 4" shorter and put it on top to keep the board from flipping up if I happen to go off the other end, where the "ramp" is the other way.
