It's time to take the Falkens off of the 914 and put the street tires and wheels back on. Any advice on how I should store the competition tires for the Winter?
I'll be keeping them on their wheels. What should I do for air pressure? Higher or lower than normal? What about storage temperature? Should I leave them in the garage where it can get mighty cold or store them in the heated basement? Any other tips? |

probably the best thing is to keep them in the basement. Keep the sun's light off them, too. A black trash bag will do the trick. I stored 2 Goodyear gatorbacks for 7 years with this method (but in the garage) and they were as good as the day I put them in, no harder at all.
