Tire Wear
Only if you never ride them. What kind of tires do you ride? Or should I
say ... don't you ride? Bob C. "jacques" wrote in message news Some tires become "dry" (can I say this of a piece of rubber ?) and develop cracks much before the wear out. |

If the tires are stored near ozone generating motors, like furnaces, pumps, freezers, etc... or constantly exposed to UV radiation via untinted, sunny windows, they can crack and crumble long before they wear out. Some rubber and plastic compounds seem to be more prone to this than others. Barry |
