Is it alright to store new tyres for use in 12/15 months or will they deteriorate somehow during that time?

 keep them out of the sunlight and away from temperature extremes and they should be fine
2000 Monster 900Sie, a few changes
1992 900 SS, currently a pile of parts.  Now running
                    flogged successfully  NHMS  12 customized.  Twice.   T3 too.   Now retired.

Thanks Dan.  They're stored in near darkness in temps between 14C > 30C.

Electric motors create ozone, so I'd keep them out of a boiler/mechanical room too.

get some black heavy trash bags, toss in a moisture bag (the mil surp type, big 4oz bags), squeeze the air out and tie the top.

if you really want them to keep forever and ever, get some VCI poly wrap.  it's like saran wrap.  just mummy up the tire and it will essentially be new forever.

But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

+1  Sunlight is a killer on tires.

I do the garbage back trick and put them in the basement for the duration.

I tire of such unhelpful suggestions...  ;D

And anyway I dont have to go as far as the Middle East, Tyres is much closer to me than that  >> http://experience.gippsland.com/Townships/Default.asp  ;)

Thanks to everybody else though  [thumbsup]
