Storing Tires..

[RobsIron]

Posted here because this section has more traffic than the wheels and tires area.

I want to hang some nice original mounted tires and rims on a wall.

Should I let all the air out, some air for low pressure or air them all the way up?

I'm thinking low low pressure to keep the bead seal and the least air will slow down the deterioration...

Low pressure (~15psi) and away from direct sunlight.

Thats one hell of a car you got there!

Low air pressure, as stated, plus: put tire in 50 gallon black plastic leaf bag, suck the air out of it with a vac, then tie it tight....keep out of heat and/or sunlight. Store flat. Coolest spot if possible in garage or basement of your house.

Anywhere nearby that can fill them with nitrogen? The inert gas is supposed to be better especially for long term storage.
