For a while now been trying to find a solution to problem of where to store my winter tyres over summer (and summer tyres over winter). Stacking them is an option but sort of difficult as they always seemed to be in the way.

Off to the garden shed but not really ideal. So decided to try to put them on wall but brackets a problem. But now sorted in the shape of Liberty Hardware 30cm heavy duty swivel arm brackets. B&Q sell them in the larger stores. Hold 22.6 Kg which is fine as my wheels weigh 19.8. Used largest fixings I could

These have a foam wrap but put some extra on in the shape of tubular foam used for pipe insulation to spread load and level things up a bit by putting second layer at rear.

Lo!

do you not find the darts go straight through the holes ? ;)

seriously, an excellent idea. I guess they're heavy to get much higher up the wall.
 
Excellent :cool:
 
Looks good. In Southern Germany (where winter tyres are a legal requirement) just about every garage has a row of wheels hanging on the wall.
