Hmm, well when they are on the track & if used properly (ie not nannad around) the treadface temperature should be well into the 70 degree mark & sometimes into the 80's. It is difficult to get anywhere near this when storing the tyres, wherever that may be. So just be aware using them on a track day will for example heat cycle them half a dozen times. Keeping them stored won't cycle them at all.

Bottom line: tyres are for using, not storing. If you can get more than a season out of them you really should get out more. :D

Basically, I've done 4 track days on my tyres, one being a hill climb, and now the car is off the road. So they have meat on them still, and I don't want them to go off with not much use. I'd be using them if I could, believe me!

lol bring them to my house i store them in my room keep them as my baby's and i charge you $100 for 2 month for storage cost.....

TRUST ME I WILL NOT USE THEM :closedeyes::):D:ph34r:

HEHEHEHHEHE

I just bought some tyres yesterday that i needed to be stored.

I dont have a place that will stay cool which is unfortunate, i cling wrapped them and put them in the shed. Its a shame it gets hot in there. So if you cant find a large plastic bag to keep them in, use cling wrap :thumbsup:

yeah for sure. the grip will be about the same as the quality street tyres but the stiff sidewalls make a big difference to handling and driver confidence.

    • Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
    • SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!! 
    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
