Mickey Thompson Street Drag Radials

[abcent]

Today I bought a pair of secondhand 225/50/R16 Micky Thompson street drag radials on AVS rims for $152.50. (only seen 5 passes)

I was wondering how I should store them between use? I dont go to the drag strip very often, maybe 3 times a year for a bit of fun.....

STORAGE

1: I've heard that its ok to leave them on the rims, but shouldnt be inflated?

2: is there anyway to prolong their shelf life (wraping in plastic?)? do the "go bad" so to speak, over time?

USE

1: when I re-inflate them for the strip, what pressure should be run in these tyres?

2: will these need decent burnout to get them up to temp? or a minimal one be fine?

any other info welcomed

Cheers

With the drag tyres that I have had to deal with, yes i have noticed that storing them does damage there life, if you store them in a hot place they will dry out like most tyres and start to crack, and if you store them in a cold place chances are they will get moisture and porus. I would probably contact somewhere like Rocket Industries and ask them. there link is. http://www.rocketindustries.com.au/search.php?menu=Tyres I hope that helped.
