Do tyres go off if you try and store a new set?

Just thinking of buying replacement Toyos as they have stopped manufacturing the T1R

Yes. But it takes a while, accelerated by sunlight.

As said keep in the dark and away from strong electric cuttents such as welders etc and they will store for a longer period of time.

That's what Ken Dodd said about his £300,000.....

IIRC anything over 10yrs old should be very closely monitored under use.

The only use for ten year old tyres.......;)

My 11 year old Bridgestones were hard and lethal for road holding. Tyres over 6 year old are suspect.

Both UV light (from the sun) and moisture will degrade them. For long term storage they should be kept in a sealed bag in a dark room away from excessive heat. Thanks, Mr Supercharged..... :-)

Got a set of 888 in the loft so should be good for a while until my T1R ,s go bald
