Post subject: | Tire Storage |
Managed to find a 'new' Michelin rear tire. Now, I've read that it's good to store them in sealed black trash bags. This tire is definitely 'sweating' inside the bag, ie. there are traces of oily, somewhat sticky stuff coming out. I'm kinda concerned about the humidity inside the bag. Is it better to leave the bag open or close it, and maybe vacuum seal it? Has anyone stored tires for 5 years or so? Thanks |

Airless, as much as possible,vacuum sealed is best,keep it away from ozone,moisture and sunlight. I keep mine in and old freezer at 40 degrees sealed up and vacuum pumped out automagically. clean the tires with a mild soap before storing and do not put anything on them |

I have a gauge and pump setup to keep the air out of it |

If memory serves it cost about 100 dollars to setup,mostly with stuff I got off ebay. It took the better part of a year to find all the stuff...for the price I wanted to pay ![]() I picked up an Omega cn9111a with a dual output relays a 3 wire rtd style vacuum sensor a 3 wire rtd type temp sensor i had the freezer and the vacuum pump the hard part was sealing the freezer,well and understanding the programming manual for the controller ![]() |
