Pyöräarkit

Pyöräarkit, sometimes translated as "wheel sheets" or "tire plates," are specialized wooden boards designed to protect and support vehicle tires during storage or transportation. They are typically made from durable wood, often plywood or solid lumber, and are shaped to cradle the tire's circumference. The primary purpose of pyöräarkit is to prevent flat spots from developing on tires, especially when a vehicle is left stationary for extended periods.

When a vehicle sits for a long time, the weight of the vehicle can compress the tire in one area, leading to a permanent deformation known as a flat spot. Pyöräarkit distribute the weight of the tire over a larger surface area, reducing the pressure on any single point. This is particularly important for classic cars, RVs, seasonal vehicles, or any vehicle that is not in regular use.

Beyond preventing flat spots, pyöräarkit can also help maintain the overall shape of the tire and prevent it from deforming under its own weight. They can also provide a clean and stable surface to rest tires on, protecting them from dirt, moisture, or damage from uneven ground. Some pyöräarkit are designed with a slight incline or a recessed area to further conform to the tire's shape. They are a simple yet effective solution for tire preservation in various storage scenarios.
