As you can imagine with 4 cars, I've accumulated a lot of spare tires. The rx7 doesn't have any extra, but Caroline's snow tires, extra truck tires, and soon to be extra MR2 tires take up a lot of space in the garage. The solution in a 13 foot tall garage? An overhead tire rack!
Matt and I made the rack using one of the extra steel beams I bought when I bought the ones for the loft floor. It works pretty well and looks professional. The beam is twisting in the center a little due to the weight of the tires (not a structural concern, but it looks off), so I'll be putting in a strap to hold the top of the beam to the wall in the center. Strap or no strap though, it still makes the garage look like a professional tire shop!
