Care and Storage
Always inspect your tires for punctures, impacts, damage, and wear before using your motorcycle. How you store your tires will affect their life and performance.
They should be stored in a cool, dry, dark and moderately ventilated area. The storage temperature should be relatively stable, and should remain below 25° C/77° F. Direct contact with pipes and radiators must be avoided. Ozone will accelerate tire aging. You should never place a tire near electric motors or other types of equipment, which may produce sparks or other electrical discharges, because they produce a higher concentration of ozone. Prolonged contact with oil or gasoline can contaminate the rubber compound, consequently making the tire unsuitable for use. Always wipe off any oil or gasoline right away with a clean cloth.
