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. :D

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!

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 :closedeyes::):D:ph34r:

HEHEHEHHEHE

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 :thumbsup:

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.

    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • 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
