Why storing tires at home is costing you more than you think.

The problem with storing tires in your garage or condo

Most Toronto and GTA drivers store their seasonal tires in a garage, balcony, or storage locker — and most don't realize how much damage that does over time. Tires stacked on their side or stored near heat sources, chemicals, or sunlight degrade significantly faster than tires kept in proper conditions. UV exposure cracks rubber compounds. Ozone damage — common in garages near motors and electrical equipment — causes premature sidewall cracking. Weight stacking on the wrong axis flattens contact patches and creates long-term deformation. The result is a set of tires that looks fine but performs dangerously below its designed specification. Professional seasonal tire storage in Toronto isn't just convenient — it directly extends the usable life of a set of tires that cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars.

What professional tire storage in the GTA actually includes

Black Tires offers two seasonal tire storage plans built for GTA drivers. The Premium Pick-Up plan ($271.20 tax included) covers GTA-wide tire pickup from your home, condo, or workplace — we come to you, inspect your tires on arrival, individually label and tag each set, and store them in temperature-controlled conditions for up to 10 calendar months. The Drop-Off plan ($158.20 tax included) covers the same inspection, labelling, and storage, with drop-off at a nearby GTA affiliate location. Both plans include VIP seasonal changeover priority — meaning when the season changes and everyone is scrambling for an appointment, our storage clients get scheduled first. Installation can be added at any time.

Tire storage pickup and delivery across Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton & the GTA

Our Premium Pick-Up storage service covers the entire Greater Toronto Area. Whether you live in downtown Toronto, Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, Mississauga, or Brampton — we come to your location, pick up your tires, and handle everything from there. When it's time to get your tires back, we coordinate delivery or installation at your preferred location. All scheduling is handled through WhatsApp or our online booking system, with confirmation sent directly to your phone. There are no surprise fees, no hidden charges, and no cash transactions — we are a fully cashless business.

Extended storage and tire swap options available

Both storage plans include up to 10 calendar months of storage. If you need to extend beyond that, extended storage is available at $20 per month plus tax — just let us know and we'll keep your tires safe until you're ready. For clients who already have storage elsewhere and just need a seasonal changeover, our Tire Swap service handles professional installation starting at $120 for rims-only swaps and $170 for on-wheel swaps, with TPMS service and torque correction to manufacturer spec included. All bookings are secured with full payment at time of booking.
