Oops. There’s the little traeger that I mentioned in the other thread.😂

Anyone got any ideas of what I can’t do with those winter tires and undersized spare? Too heavy to lift up to the overhead storage and I don’t want to lug them back downstairs to the storage room. Carpeted stairs and dirty tires don’t mix. 🤦‍♂️
Put the tires on the wall, Teddy. Google "wall mount tire racks" or there are some portable ones on wheels. I agree though, they need to be off the floor and out of the way.

FAIL. I tried to use the 100lb rated wall mounts I already had. (The orange thing the ladder is hanging on). I got them all secured using new 3” 13mm lag bolts (3 per mount) and just as I hung up the last tire, the bottom mount snapped and the tire fell. Luckily it was only about 12” (inches - I got it right this time)👍. I’m not even going to bother with a tire rack system. If something fails when I am gone, it’s going to do some good damage to the wife’s car. I’ll have to mount the rack at least 6’ (feet )👍 off the ground.

I’m sure new ones would hold but eventually, they are going to wear and snap. Whoever said aluminum is just as strong as steel lied 😉 (just a joke. Calm down) 😉

Solution. Out to the acreage they go.

Dang golf got cancelled. 🤬
