Tyre storage: How to keep seasonal tyres well-organised and protected

With the changing seasons, and depending on where motorists live, it might be necessary to focus on changing tyres. Whether you are switching to summer or winter tyres, it is important to know how to store off-season tyre sets.

Australian tyre recycler and owner of Branigans Tyres, Chris Lett, discusses tyre storage, and how vehicle owners can keep seasonal tyres protected and organised until they’re needed on the roads again.

Proper tyre handling and storage can affect the characteristics of the tyres. “If handled and stored poorly, it can shorten the life span of the tyre, leading to storage deterioration that can result in tyres needing to be replaced. However, if tyres are handled and stored correctly, and the following tips are adhered to, they will provide many years of on road service and save vehicle owners a lot of money,” says Lett.

Clean the tyres: With some detergent, a bucket of water and a tyre brush, clean those tyres before storing them. This will provide a fresher look and feel for stored tyres, along with the necessary removal of the previous season’s dirt. Ensure that after cleaning, tyres are dried and prepared for storage.

Wrap them up in bags: Provide large, yard bags or even leaf bags that are airtight to fit each tyre in. “It is important to ensure that both tyres and bags are free of moisture. This will reduce the evaporation of oils from rubber compounds. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove air from the bag,” says Lett.

Keep stored tyres away from the sunlight: “All stored tyres should be kept out of direct sunlight as UV Rays and the heat of the sun can create issues on the rubber,” says Lett.

Select the ideal location: Tyres should not be stored in the open air even under a covering during cold or warm weather. Dry, cool and well-ventilated areas that are out of the sunlight like garages, basements, attics or even sheds are better storage areas for your tyres. If possible, it is important that these areas are climate-controlled, keeping tyres away from any unwanted heat or inconsistent temperatures.

Keep tyres away from chemicals: Avoid chemicals like Ozone. In particular, electric motors using contact brushes generate ozone. These can include, furnaces, generators, and compressors, among others. Storage areas should not be near lubricants, solvents or fuels either.

White rubber must be secured: Should tyres have white lettering, take note. If you decide not to bag the tyres, then it is crucial that the white areas touch other white areas, and black areas touch the other black areas. This is because the black rubber located on the white side is compounded differently than the black rubber located on the other side. The non-staining black rubber layer is used on the tyre’s white side to prevent oils moving from the black to the white areas of the tyre, leading to discolouration. Thus, storing black to the other black, and whites alike will avoid any marks.

Stand them, stack them or hang them: The options to stand tyres upright, stack them on their sides or hand them up on racks are up for choice in terms of storage. “As long as tyres are placed in ways that provide less stress on each other, prevent damage or unwanted tipping,” says Lett.

“Tyres are prone to ageing, however these tips will assist in extending their lives and performance,” says Lett. Make seasonal tyre storage a priority, and your tyres will be ready to use again for next season’s journeys.

Tennis tournament hopes to entice aspiring Alex Ealas

Tennis is receiving much attention these days due mainly to Filipino player Alex Eala who continues to make the country proud in international tournaments. This is partly why the Philippine Columbian Association (PCA) is optimistic that it will draw over a thousand entries for the 43rd PCA Open 2026. The annual tennis tournament is special this year as it has partnered with Palawan Group of Companies whose founder and chair Bobby Castro is committed to supporting Filipino athletes and the growth of local sports. “Earlier this year, in May, we held the Palawan Open where many players, both seasoned and starting, competed. Aside from the prizes at stake, it was a venue for veteran players to showcase their talents and inspire the youth,” Castro said in his opening remarks. Eala’s participation in Pala-wan-supported tournaments early in her career also highlights the value of local competitions. “Here at Palawan Group, we believe that Filipinos have so much potential. We just need to provide opportunities for them to develop their skills, gain experience, and show the country, and maybe later, the world, what they can do,” Castro said. “This is one of the reasons why we are proud to support the Palawan PCA Open as a major sponsor. For us, this isn’t just about supporting this tournament but it is also about supporting the athletes themselves and helping create more opportunities for Filipino talent to grow,” he added. Dubbed the “Wimbledon of the Philippines,” the PCA Open will run from Nov. 2 to Dec. 13, at the PCA clay courts in Paco, Manila. The tournament is expected to draw more than 1,000 entries across eight categories. The junior events begin on Nov. 2, while the men’s and women’s Open main draws are scheduled Dec. 5 to 13. Founded in 1907, the PCA has a long history of bringing people together through sports and community, with tennis remaining an important part of its tradition. The PCA Open continues to bring together players of different ages and skill levels, from junior competitors to those vying for the men’s and women’s Open titles. “We want to keep the sport accessible, give players opportunities to compete, and inspire more Filipinos to experience the excitement of the game. We thank Palawan Group for supporting this shared goal,” said Ivan Ong, PCA Open Committee representative. Athletes devote years to training and development, demonstrating discipline, dedication, and perseverance. Each player who steps onto the court brings extensive experience while continuing to refine and elevate their skills. “We want to support that journey and help give our athletes more opportunities to compete and excel. At the same time, we also want to encourage more Filipinos, especially the youth, to excel in tennis,” Castro said. During the tournament launch on Oct. 15, members of the media participated in a mini-tennis clinic, where coaches and young tennis players introduced them to the fundamentals of the sport through a series of on-court activities. “As a proudly Filipino company, we see supporting Philippine tennis as another way to put our commitment to the communities we serve into action,” said Bernard Kaibigan, chief marketing officer of the Palawan Group of Companies. “Beyond the tournament itself, we hope initiatives like the Palawan PCA Open will encourage more Filipinos to discover the sport and see it as something they can learn, enjoy, and pursue,” Kaibigan added. By backing established tournaments such as the PCA Open, Palawan Group hopes to help sustain opportunities for Filipino players. Additional information and tournament updates are available through the official social media accounts of the Palawan PCA 43rd Open.

Is sugar toxic?

Sugar isn’t poisonous. But in the amounts we tend to eat, sugar can act a lot like poison. Let’s be clear about this. The sugar your body needs is glucose — the fuel for your brain and muscles. We get it naturally from rice, fruit, milk and vegetables. This is not the problem. The real culprit is added sugar: the white sugar, corn syrup and sweeteners mixed into soda, bread, sauces, dressings and so-called “healthy snacks”. The World Health Organization recommends less than six teaspoons a day. Many of us get 3 to 4 times this amount daily without realizing it. What really happens What happens when sugar enters our bodies that fast and that often? Your blood sugar spikes. Insulin surges to clear it. If you do this daily, your cells will soon start ignoring insulin. This is the first step to type 2 diabetes. Your liver turns the excess sugar into fat which could lead to inflammation, fatty liver, high blood pressure and gout. Other side effects are damaged blood vessels and the risk of heart disease. The good news: you don’t need to quit sugar forever. That slice of cake is not dangerous. You see, toxicity is about frequency and dose. The key is fiber. For example, sweetened coffee and donuts before lunch is totally different from a serving of ice cream after a meal. Liquid sugar is the culprit because it hits your bloodstream with no fiber or protein as a buffer. Healthy reminders There is no need to give up sugar. You just need some practical tips. Drink smart. Start with water before anything else. Swap soda, juices, milk tea and smoothies for fresh juices, unsweetened tea, black coffee or lemon water. Eat to blunt the spike. Apply the “protein-fiber-fat rule”. Have fish, lean meat, eggs and vegetables before rice or pasta. Exercise daily. Do you know that a 10-minute walk after meals can bring down sugar by 30 percent ? The secret is to keep moving. Shop smarter. Read the ingredients. If you see corn syrup, maltose or dextrose, do not buy it. Those first three ingredients means it’s mostly sugar. Eat home cooked meals. It’s safer. Manage cravings by drinking one glass of water. Wait 15 minutes for the craving to go away. For those with kidney disease or diabetes, the margin is smaller. Pair limited carbs with protein and watch your portions. Your doctor can come up with a plan for you. The takeaway Sugar isn’t evil. It is a condiment. It is not food. So treat it that way. Sugar once consumed needs to be burned. So, exercise is a must. Choose whole food before processed options. Pick the whole fruit instead of the juice. Drink water, not soda. If you make one change this week, then you will see positive results. In 10 days your taste buds will reset. Then suddenly, an apple tastes better than apple pie. Affirmation: “ I am as sweet as honey.” Love and light.
