How do you organise your tyres?
 
At the moment I just keep my tyres in a big plastic bag which isn't really the best for keeping them in any particular order.

I could do with getting something to store them in so they are in pairs etc, so to inspire me how do you keep yours organised?

Kept in sets/pairs with cheap insulation tape from the £1 shop, green & yellow coloured tape.
Greens wrapped in clingfilm to stop them air-hardening.

When I get home from the track, I clean/wash any tyres I've used that day - and then store them by sets (or pairs) in ziplock bags.
That way any tires I pull out at the track are clean/fresh and ready to go.

Nice one guys but what do you actually keep them in? I'm thinking of getting one of the fastrax bags

I write on the inside of the wheel with an OHP pen, which then comes off when i soak the wheels in acetone to remove the old tyres.

Just incase i have moment i mark compound colour and number them

I have one of the large shoulder carry bags you have linked too. You get plenty in. A good solution to keeping your tyres together.

hauler bag
 
i was keeping mine all neat and in pairs/sets in a cheap red haluer bag, but i now tape them together or use zip ties in he middle of the wheels to keep them in order.
All in a large plastic flip lid container. so frees the hauler bag for parts etc.

or you can get proper wheel holders cheap enough and store them in any box.:thumbsup:

I don't like those logo'd bags, they have "steal me" written all over them.
I just use inexpensive, wheeled, luggage bags I purchase at any bigbox retail shop.

Would say the colour of the tape effects the overall performance?? Have you tested other colours to determine that yellow and green is the best???

I just push a long zip tie through each set of four then fold it back inside. It holds them well and wont come loose, then in the box.
