How to keep Semi's in good condition.

[_FeRiO_]

Hey guys, just wondering if there's an appropraite way of keeping the semi's in good condition( store them in glad wrap etc). I know if u don't use ur normal tyres for a while, they go stale and hard.
So just wondering if this happens to semi's aswell.

Cheers.

UV light and heat will deteriorate any tyres in storage , quicker on semis/slicks as they are a softer compound. Firstly clean them up with a soft brush and remove any stones / rubber excess / dirt and make sure the entire surface is clean.
When stored ( if on rims) deflate them entirely.Keep them in a cool dark place probably on a piece of cardboard off the floor.
