longsh07 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Planning to buy a set of Yokohama AD08R's for my FN2 Civic but as I won't be using them all year round I'll need to store them over winter. From what I've read there is a chance of them cracking if they get too cold because they are a harder compound. I'll have to store them in a shed so I wanted to get something to insulate them a bit it not completely. Has anyone used wheel/tyre storage bags at all? If so what brand were they, were did you get them from, and were they any good? Tried to find some that said they were insulated but that doesn't seem to be a thing. Found these on Demon Tweeks which look pretty thick so thought they'd do. Anyone used them? Seem to have pretty good reviews online http://www.demon-twe...UFF0aAjPq8P8HAQ Edited January 28, 2016 by longsh07 1 Quote
Ekona Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I honestly wouldn't bother. If you were storing them outside then yes, maybe, but over one winter they'll be absolutely fine. Chuck 'em in the shed somewhere off the ground and that'll be fine. I store my 888s on the car, in the garage, and they're still good. Quote
longsh07 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 No? Fair enough. If 888's are OK I should have though AD08R's would be fine as they are not really considered a proper track day tyre. Quote
GMballistic Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I'm actually surprised though at the price of those tyre bags, ...I was expecting them to be a lot more expensive tbh. Quote
Ekona Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 They're definitely a 'nice to have', and they certainly look the part, but I've never bothered and I'm not 100% convinced they're necessary. Save the money and put it towards beer 1 Quote

Strikes me as the sort of thing you'd normally be ripped off for. Might get them anyway just so I font get the car grubby when it comes to swapping them over! 1 Quote
longsh07 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Posted January 29, 2016 ^^ That's an idea. Oi I get that but thats not what I wanted them for Quote
HaydnH Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 I don't usually drive in winter so I keep my AD08Rs on all year and haven't had an issue, they're pretty bad in the snow though. Quote
