Storage for car tyres – when space runs out and everyday life needs more room
Mirkka and Oscar live in a terraced house in Oulunkylä where every square metre counts. Their first child arrived – and as many people know, a baby brings love, joy and… stuff. A lot of stuff. When the car tyres took over the boot and the pram no longer fit, it was clear: the tyres needed their own home. Cityvarasto stepped in – quickly and without any fuss.

Why store your car tyres?
Car tyres take up space at home and in the car – a storage unit frees up your square metres.
Access your Cityvarasto unit with your phone – no keys, no stress.
In a warm indoor unit, tyres stay in great condition all year round.
Car tyres are best kept in a warm, clean and monitored storage unit where they have their own space – rather than rolling around in the hallway, on the balcony or in the boot. At Cityvarasto, your tyres get their own home: access works with your phone, storage units are warm indoor spaces and dropping off your tyres is quick and easy, even on the way home from work.
A pile of tyres at home is a classic – but few people actually enjoy it as part of their daily life. When your tyres are at Cityvarasto, you free up space at home and in the car, keep the tyres dry and warm and avoid bringing dirt inside. When the season changes, the tyres are ready and waiting – the whole operation takes just a few minutes.
And a small bonus for everyday life: the pram fits in the car again.
Mirkka and Oscar – tyres out of the car, space back in life
Mirkka and Oscar rented a 1.7 m² storage unit at Cityvarasto Käpylä-Metsälä. Just the right size. Just the right distance away. The first mission was clear: get the summer tyres out of the boot. When tyres take up half the car, everyday life starts to feel like a game of Tetris.
Dropping off the tyres was straightforward. Customer service guided them clearly – as is the Cityvarasto way – and the whole operation was done in no time:
Drive straight in along the ramp
Call the number displayed at the door and the roller door opens automatically
Tyres into the warm indoor unit
Lights come on by themselves – as if the tyres had their own welcome committee
Door closed and off you go
The whole thing took just over five minutes. In that time, most people can barely get the kettle on at home. The atmosphere was completely different from the dark wire mesh storage in a housing company basement, where every sound feels like the soundtrack to a crime drama.
A warm indoor unit also does your tyres a favour. Car tyres don't do well in the cold, damp or exposed to rain and snow. In Cityvarasto's storage units, they're kept warm, dry, clean and monitored. Tyre condition is directly linked to safety – and in the warmth, they stay in better shape for years.
Once the tyres were in storage, everyday life felt lighter straight away. Start the car, door up and home to feed the baby. Everything has its own home, and home has room to breathe again. "I could stay here longer!" said Mirkka – and it's not the first time a customer has said that.
