Winter Storage for V710s
Are there any recommendations or "best practices" for storing R-Comps, in particular V710s over the winter?
I am planning on putting them in black garbage bags and storing them in my basement where the temperature varies between 50 and 75 degrees. Anything else I should be doing?
I am thinking about buying some V710s but I don't plan on running them till next spring. Would storage over winter (following proper storage rules) affect the performance of the tire dramatically or should I expect them to be about as quick as brand new ones with no "winter cycle" on them?
Thanks!

That sounds good. Maybe hit them with some Armor-all?
I wonder how some of those vacuum bag things would work in this case? The big ones designed for huge quilts and such, suck the air out with the vacuum cleaner.

What about wrapping the entire tire with something like the wrap for pallets?

I asked Hoosier how I should store my rain tires for the winter. They suggested putting them in Plastic bags and keeping them in an area where they would not freeze (ie: DO NOT store in the transporter).
He said that with a small amount of care they will last for a VERY long time. It is heat cycles that kill them. Count your heat cycles and invest in a 'durometer'. It will tell you how hard the tires are.
It pains me to throw away race tires with plenty of tread life . . . but a hard tire is worse than a bald one !
