Storage
Should you need to store tires they should be stored indoors in a
cool, dry place. Tire storage areas should be cool (45° F ~ 75° F),
dry, non-dusty, and moderately well ventilated. To protect your tires
from damage related to heat, water, ozone and direct sunlight, it is
suggested you place them in opaque, waterproof containers (e.g.,
plastic trash bags). It is vital that the tires do not come in contact \
with
sources of heat and/or ozone i.e. radiators, electric generators/motors,\
hot pipes, etc., and tires should never be allowed to stand or come into\
contact with water, grease, fuels, brake fluid or any other chemicals.
If you need to transport your tires, please follow the above guidelines.\
WARNING: Driving on an improperly stored tire is dangerous,
as the tire can suddenly fail, which can lead to an accident and
serious personal injury or death.
