Care and Storage

Always inspect your tyres for punctures, impacts, damage, and wear before using your motorcycle. How you store your tyres 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 tyre aging. You should never place a tyre 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 tyre unsuitable for use. Always wipe off any oil or gasoline right away with a clean cloth.
