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.

    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
