Clyde are you using this for storage, I finally got around to cleaning my winter wheels and am now using this thing to store them in the garage, it seems sturdy but it still has me a bit nervous about the label saying it is not for storage.

I have not made enough garage progress yet to start using something like that :lol:

I wouldn't worry about it. What is the absolute worst that could happen? Something gives and it partially collapses. The partial collapse would turn your tire stack in the Leaning Tires of Long Island for a moment before momentum carries the top one or two (maybe three) off the stack where they bounce/roll into something else and potentially cause some damage. (Full collapse wouldn't be so bad, they would all just fall straight down, no harm, no foul.)

So, how to protect against the stack falling over? Contractor bag over the stack (basically, upside down)? Industrial Saran Wrap type stuff wrapping the whole set? (Not only do they help contain the tires, but also reduce the tires contact with the air which will help them age slower while in storage. The latter more than the former.) If you have the flexibility in where the stack is located, you can position other items to block the tires or tie a piece of rope around the top tire and anchor it on something. What you're trying to do is help the tires just fall straight down instead of bounce around your garage.

Mostly, I just wouldn't worry about it.

Personally, I'd just use a regular furniture dolly, which is rated for 500-1,000lbs. I store engines for years this way.

I'm sure the warning is for the few idiots that stack tires too high and create the risk that a toddler comes around and pulls them over on him./herself. I would think 4 tires & wheels on that would totally/completely fine.

I currently have eight tires and wheels stacked on a $21 harbor freight plastic furniture dolly. Don't overthink this :lol:

Too late :lol:

There's also the $11 HF dolly too... LOL

Except that doesn't have enough capacity for the wheel/tire package on anything Alan would be seen driving :lol:

Where were you months ago when I bought the dolly this would've been perfect :D

Clyde's right it's too late I already have my winter set sitting on it ... is if I had garage space like you I wouldn't worry about the thing failing but this is sitting literally 3-4 feet from the Cayman, if it fails the Cayman is going to get hit but I already have the solution, I am putting a brick under the portion that sits near the Cayman so if it fails the brick will hold it up and it won't drop a wheel/tire onto the car.

Alan, when I posted the thing you bought, I also wrote "or any furniture dolly type thing" were the next six words. :dunno: :lol:

The brick solution is good. Time to stop thinking and worrying.
