If I buy winter tires, what do I do with the set of tires I'm not currently using?

Question

I have a small car and live in an apartment.  If I go with winter tires this year, what options do I have as far as storing the set of tires I'm not using and transporting the tires to and from the tire center if I have to do that?  I have a 2013 Corolla.  Not even sure if I'd fit 1 tire in my car.

Stack them up, put some round glass on the top and call it a table.

If you always use the same tire dealer, sometimes they'll let you store your unused tires with them. It's sad now with the front wheel/all wheel drive that if you do buy snow tires, you have to get 4 of them~ used to be just your back wheels.

But if you have to store 4 tires all the time, that's tough. And yes - they're heavy!

Either you have somewhere to store your all season or summer tires or you don't.  You could rent a storage unit, find a friend or family member, etc., if you do not have room in your apartment.
