This is my third winter running these tyres and one thing that has surprised me is the wear rate, which appears to be zero. Initially I had hoped to get at least 4 years use from them, but I can see it being much more. Value-wise they are looking like an amazing investment.

Curious as to how you store them Andrew?
andrewparker:
I just stick them in the cellar Nasir. Drop the tyre pressure and put them in some VW wheel bags, then they just lie flat on the floor. Exactly the same for my summer wheels when I have the winters on.
Nasir:
Ah OK, I was just wondering how you would stop the rubber from ageing :happy2:

I read advice in various places, but the general consensus was that they should be stored on their sides (not stacked), with around 1.0 bar of pressure in them, in a room that is cool and dry. The tyres should also be clean and free of any dressings etc. Luckily I've managed to tick all those boxes.
