Storing tyres?

Post by oldgreyandslow » Mon May 14, 2012 4:43 pm

With all the panic about availability of 18 inch rears and needing a new front I was thinking of buying a rear while I'm at it, however I was wondering how best to store it? Obviously in the dry but a cool garage or warm-ish loft?

rubber reacts to UV and heat, so I would say wrap them up in black plastic in a cool place. If they do go hard, I have found that tyre softener works too
