Tire storage

[Bad_Byte]

I'm no expert but I would wrap them in saran wrap or a large plastic bag. They will dry out and harden over time and that's a bad thing.

Long Term Storage...ie 1+ years or especially longer

Eliminate affects of OZONE by:

-Coat em outside w/ silicone sealer....the shiny stuff.
-Some tire dressings contain UV protectant. Better still
-Store in opaque black plastic bags. Thin bags? Double-bag.
-evacuate as much air from the bag as possible. ShopVac?
-Fold neck of bag over and Duct tape bag closed.
-Store on treaded surface if possible, not laid flat.
-Cool-dry storage as possible. Heat is bad. Cool is good.

Be careful when driving away on siliconed gooey tires !

JonB usually knows his sh*t, but I heard the same thing. Always store them flat and never stack tires. Of course, we probably heard wrong.... ANY OTHER EXPERTS OUT THERE?

JonB,

Why not coat the tires inside as well?
