Storing 200 treadwear tires over the winter - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Thrustin · 11-26-2015, 06:26 PM

Should they be brought inside the house, or will they be ok in the garage? I know race compounds are not supposed to be subjected to freezing temps, but does it really matter for the 200 treadwear group of tires? Asking because I'd rather not have them in the house if it isn't necessary. I had a set of Hoosiers in the back room for a winter, and the wife bitched about it on a daily basis, lol.

I don't know too much about this but I do think tires like that will crack in the cold. (-7C or somthing is the lowest you can have tires like that, well atleast on a camaro ZL1 or a Vett)

I guess I should put the stockers back on and bring the sticky stuff inside. I was really hoping someone would convince me that it didn't much matter.
