Cool, thanks for that Richard.

Hmm, well when they are on the track & if used properly (ie not nannad around) the treadface temperature should be well into the 70 degree mark & sometimes into the 80's. It is difficult to get anywhere near this when storing the tyres, wherever that may be. So just be aware using them on a track day will for example heat cycle them half a dozen times. Keeping them stored won't cycle them at all.

Bottom line: tyres are for using, not storing. If you can get more than a season out of them you really should get out more.

Basically, I've done 4 track days on my tyres, one being a hill climb, and now the car is off the road. So they have meat on them still, and I don't want them to go off with not much use. I'd be using them if I could, believe me!

don't worry...they'll be perfect for running the motor in when you are finished....then put something decent on

lol bring them to my house i store them in my room keep them as my baby's and i charge you $100 for 2 month for storage cost.....

TRUST ME I WILL NOT USE THEM

Just my theory and it is open to suggestion.

The way i look at it is: A 2-3yr old set of RE55s will still out preform a quality set of street tyres on the track.

I just bought some tyres yesterday that i needed to be stored.

I dont have a place that will stay cool which is unfortunate, i cling wrapped them and put them in the shed. Its a shame it gets hot in there. So if you cant find a large plastic bag to keep them in, use cling wrap

yeah for sure. the grip will be about the same as the quality street tyres but the stiff sidewalls make a big difference to handling and driver confidence.

you saying they might crumble when he uses the tyre or rip apart LOLZ
