I would wanna see pics of how bad they are. I always pull mine off and stick em in the basement for the winter. I was told before that the extreme cold is bad for em.

i agree normally i drop the pressure to about 5 psi and hang the rims/tires up in the garage on a pipe i welded up. keeps them out of the weather and in good shape. add pics so we can see how bad/good
