【Winter Tires】Prevent the theft of the “4” that were replaced! A strong tire lock developed by a hardware manufacturer as a countermeasure

Switching to winter tires is one of the annual events of facing your beloved car. Neatly bundle the 4 removed tires and we recommend a tire lock that can protect them securely.

Stacked, connected, and locked up

The new addition to the "Pitatto" series, following the "Pitatto Bookshelf" and "Pitatto Corner" by a hardware manufacturer, is the "Pitatto Tire Lock." It connects four tires with a chain, stacking them vertically, sandwiching them with stainless top and bottom covers, and securing them with a padlock. Just like that, the storage takes up the same amount of space as one tire on the floor, making it less likely to fall over.

In a corner of a carport or parking lot, the sight of four tires neatly gathered like a single pillar is visually appealing and satisfying. No tools or specialized knowledge are needed, and there's no hassle in assembly. By simply stacking the tires through the chain and locking them with a padlock, you can complete the tidying up in your home parking lot on the same day you finish changing the tires.

When combined, the weight is approximately 50kg (varies by tire and wheel). By becoming one unit with the chain, it's designed so that you cannot take them out one by one.

The visibility of the chain and padlock from outside conveys at a glance that it requires effort to store, which is a key point. This method of "storing tires chained together" is one that the police promote as a theft prevention measure, and it has been made easy for anyone to put into practice.

From the upper and lower covers to the chain and connection fittings, the entire body is made of stainless steel. Because it will be placed long-term in rain-exposed carports or outdoor parking spaces, rust-resistant materials are chosen. The upper and lower covers are manufactured at the company's own factory in Aichi Prefecture. Once they are gathered, they can be repeatedly used every year during tire changes.

Compatible with tires that have a central or side hole through which the chain passes (a hole diameter of 30mm or more is a guideline), the center cap and wheel cap need to be removed for use. There are also two sets available for those who want to store tires for two vehicles or keep summer and winter tires together.

It's tire change season. Why not think ahead about where to store them this year?
