How long can tire sit for?

cossie1600 · 04-28-2014, 01:37 AM

Since I don't have a lot of time to play with the car, just curious to see how long are tires good to sit for? I have three set of tires mounted sitting in storage right now (50-70F dry weather). I am just curious to see if it is still okay to let them sit.

thanks

Provided the tyres are not exposed to light - they should keep for a year or more, given that they don't click over total 6 years of age in the meantime.
