We’re seeing the sun a lot more these days, which means it’s almost time to put your winter tires away! If you need a place to store your tires, you’ll want to check out our DIY tire rack video.
We built this rack for tires in sizes 245/40/18 and 235/55/18. This rack will fit most passenger tires, but you should measure your tires ahead of time to be sure they’ll fit. Adjust the width of the rack as needed. You can check the width of your tires here.
Before you get started, here’s one more tip that may seem obvious, but we’ll say it anyway: make sure your tire rack will fit inside your garage before you start to build it.
You’ll need:
Using a power saw, cut the 2 x 4s to the following lengths.
You’ll need:
Arrange the pieces for one side of your tire rack on a flat surface. Use your measuring tape to determine where each 2×4 goes, and mark the spots where they’ll attach. Use your square to make sure all your angles are 90 degrees. Once it’s all ready to go, drill pilot holes for the screws – this will help keep the wood from splitting. Then you can drill in the screws. Repeat this process for the other side of the tire rack.
Attach the 12-inch connector pieces of wood to one of your frames (once again measuring as you go), then stand both frames up together (you’ll probably want an assistant or some ratchet straps to help with this part). Check your angles again with your square, then attach the two sides of the rack together.
And there you have it – a beautiful, sturdy tire rack, handmade by you! It’s the perfect place to store your tires safely until next winter.
