-
Tires age from chemical and physical processes which can affect their function. Tires which are not driven for long periods of time harden and
deteriorate faster than tires which are in continuous use. For this reason tires should be evaluated for both tread depth and aging. Tires should not be
older than 6 years (including the spare). The tire age can be determined from the DOT description on the sidewall, which indicates the production
date of the tire (example.: DOT ... 066, 6th week of 1996).
-
The storage area for tires must be cool, dry, dark, and ventilated. Tires must never come in contact with gasoline, oils, grease, or other chemicals.
-
Complete tire/wheel assemblies can be stored horizontally. It is recommended that they be inflated 0.4 bar (6 psi) above the recommended pressure
during the storage period.
-
Unmounted tires are best stored in a vertical position. When storing tires in a vertical position, it is recommended to rotate the tires every 2 weeks to
prevent any flat spots from developing. When unmounted tires are stored horizontally, they deform severely and will be difficult to mount on the rim
flange.
-
Optimal conditions for tire/wheel assembly storage are offered by the Original Porsche Transport Carrier, part number, 000 044 000 22.
