6 months i would think as 4door_sleeper said will be right. And i think as long as its not in a dry hot are unused for more than 12+ months their shouldnt be any drama's putting them back on. I know their is a good that you can put on tyres which will make them grip alot more which would probably work well for these sorts of tyres, however supposedly it makes them so spungy they wear out really quick

Anybody got info on this "stuff" to put on the tyres?

My rears are either old tyres that have been in the sun for too long or just have a ridiculously hard compound. They just refuse to wear out. The traction is hopeless but I cant bring myself to throw out 265 tyres with heaps of tread left.

If its looks like the rubber is showing cracks or just has a dry feel to it just rub some vaseline into it, wipe it off and that should fix it. I havent tried it on car tyres before but it works like a charm on rubber exposed to dry conditions or the sun for ages. Gives it back its flexibility and smooth feel. Just a suggestion, not sure if it would work.

FATGTS-R, Methaline Chloride is about the only thing that will "soften" tyres somewhat but it not recomended that you get it on the side walls as it also tends to breake down the ability of the rubber to bond to the carbon in the tyre. Oh and watch out, Methaline Chloride is pretty toxic stuff so gloves and very well ventilated areas when applying

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
