so i was doing some searching on here and found out that some of you guys with nitto 555r's have had them crack during winter.. i noticed the warning when i bought mine about how youre not suppose to used them below 30 degrees or so. here's my question. well my car is not a dd, so itll be seating in the garage. i live in tx so it doesnt get extremely cold, but is there anything else i can do to eep this from happening?? i was thinking of maybe putting the car on jackstands/deflating my nittos.

any input will be helpfull

I park my car in a garage for the winter and it has seen under 10* temps. I've never had a problem with the 555R's although I buy a new set every year

theres a big thread on that.all 555r's crack thats what happens when you buy tires from china,lol

do a search on that issue seems alot of tires are cracking up.one guys did it after only 1 week.g/l

and everyone says nitto wont stand behind the tires either so your f*cked.


try m/t's next time they are way better.

like i said in my original post, i did some searching already, just wanting to know if there's a way to prevent it...not for some one to tell me what i already know.

best way imo to preserve them would be to take them off the car and let the air out. bag them in dark plastic bags, stack them on top of each other or find a storage out of the sun and cold. then after it get's warm again put them back on the car.

if you did that your tires will be like new come next spring.
