Storing wheels and tyres
After reading your information on your site and in the newspaper, I've gone for winter tyres. I need to store my good alloys and normal tyres at home. I intend storing them behind the garden shed on a paving slab.
Each wheel will be wrapped in a separate black plastic bin bag, and the four stacked on top of each other. Will this be satisfactory.

No. Store them inside the shed off the floor in the dark piled on top of each other flat with plenty of air around.
