78 Factory Original Tires & Rims

[John A.]

What is the best way to preserve a set of factory original tires & rims. They only have 10,000 miles on them. How should they be stored and in what type of enviroment( inflated, deflated, etc.)?

Inflated to running pressure, on their side -- that is stack them. In the dark and away from heat and ozone (electric motors). I soak mine with Aerospace Protectant 303, but I like that stuff. I got some cardboard disks when I ordered tires and wheels from Tire Rack. Giant pizza holders that are clean. I put them between the tires.

I agree with Terry !

If you have a place in the house, or if your garage is temp controlled. That is the best.

I do agree with keeping them inflated too.
