lentner3 281 Posted February 20, 2021 So I have an integrated garage but it can get cold and maybe even slightly damp at times. But I have many shelters and some have new but perished tyres. A few are brittle and upon handling they rip others appear completely fine. In fact my runners seem to be in better condition. 🤔 anyone else have similar problems and or solutions. Short of removing the wheels and boxing them up. I don’t like the idea of them all cracking as I do plan on running some of them.  The worst ones seem to be the lunch box and monster spike ones.

KEV THE REV 2304 Posted February 20, 2021 I condition tyres with cooking glycerin . A wipe over the tyres so they are well coated then slip a sandwich bag over them and close in with an elastic band to keep them supple . When you take them out of storage give them a wipe over with sponge , then brush the tyres with a boot brush after they are dried , as it is water based it won't harm them as will give them a new look . Keep the bags for future storage 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lentner3 281 Posted February 20, 2021 Thanks for the tip. What about the ones I want to jeep on display will it work for them too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2304 Posted February 20, 2021 Yes , for sure , the longer you leave it the better , so storing tyres like this is good . I've done it many times , sometimes left them for months and even years . Even better for tyres off the rims as you can smother the inside too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 3946 Posted February 20, 2021 For my shelfers I also use the glycerin, I brush paint in on and just turn the tyres every day or so initially, you may get a couple drips under them depending how heavy handed you apply it, it works wonders though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
