tyre storage

Post by hidepenny »

question question!~~~!!

my tyres are not worn out at all, it's the BT014 and it's done 4500km
and just realised i have only done less than 4000 km on my bike since i bought it :D


anyway i have bought another set of the BT014 since it was cheap and now but tyres are only half worn when i looked at the marker last nite


so should i put the new one on or just keep the tyres until i need to replace them?

and how should i store new tyres?

Thx

Store em
Keep them out of direct sunlight and in a stable medium temperature area.
You may want to wrap em up...

12 months or so.... wrap em with non clear plastic or old sheets or similar. Probly not shrink wrap as its clear and may stick to the tyre...

I had a set of slicks in my garage for 2 years befor I used em. I spoke to the manufacturer and they said 2 years is ok if not in sunlight and the temps are fairly stable... They were right..

I'll look after them if you want, but I can't guarantee they'll be in the same condition when you get them back ;)
