Storing slicks... I am a newcomer to the 'slick-scene' and was wondering what the best route to store the slicks on the wheels over the winter would be? Deflate them ...keep inflated?....inside in the warmer weather or outside in the cold be alright under shelter? Obviously im wanting to keep these from dry-rotting or anything and good for next year....wondering what would be the best way or if im just over-reacting? Thanks!
Keep them cool (but do not store in freezing conditions), dry & preferrably in the dark so the sun does not dry them out. The basement is good for this.
Stay away from motors & electronic equipment as the ozone created can alter the rubber characteristics.
Lay them on their sides (low air pressure, but not flat), preferrably with something between them & also off of the floor.
Tires stored in the heat & sunlight of a garage will harden them as will freezing conditions

haha , thats the truth...and when i say MY closet,...i really mean at my mom and dads house in thier closet...dont think they're all too happy about it either but oh well they'll get over it.
I have my slicks and stock wheeels in my basement with 15 psi in them. They are laying on some old carpet on their side. I had a pair of ET Streets that took 5 years to harden up. Hopefully these ET Drags can last me a couple more years.
