Hey guys,

Whats the best way to store these tyres (toyoR888's) at home?

They willbe my second set of tyres, obviously for track use, but to keep them in good nick, how do you guys store them at home n such?

Cover them up?Off the ground?

where and such?

Cheers,

Chris

umm, put them indoors somewhere (garage etc). that's about it... i mean it's not like they're being stored for 5 years. have a look at how they store 'em where you bought them from.

actually the best place to store 'em is at my place. I'll take good care of them for you. hehe.

I'm currently storing 8 in the garage and to be honest I didn't think twice about it. some are stacked and where there was no room the rest I just rolled in and left them where ever they ended up.

sweet,

Ive had other tyres in my garden shed, but when it rains, it floods....and as I found out, slaters and spiders love tyres!

so yeah, not going to put em in there, :laugh:

BB - your place? yeah sure no worries :P:huh:

Yes I was joking, you should put the traction compound on before you store them. ;)

(also kidding)

Just don't leave them for too long, they go very hard otherwise.

dry, dark, cool....

but even then dont keep em too long, once they are a few years old even the best tyres are crap. Ive got 4 year old yoko a032r on the car atm, might as well be falken 326s

If semi comps are stores in a cool place, out of the elements ie inside a house, how long would it be before they started to harden up? Like, are we talking months here, or years?

I know it would vary depending on exactly where they're kept, the temps etc, but just looking for a general idea.

it's a bit hard to pinpoint, but personally I wouldn't keep them more than about 18 months max, less than 12 months peferable. you will be able to tell when they are going hard, it's very apparent.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
