<VV> tire deterioration

[J R Read_HML]

Put them (tires you want to save) in sealed dark plastic bags and store them 
in a cool dark place.

I don't think you want to let the suspension hang down all winter, so put 
some beater tires (spare wheels) on.  Also, makes it easier to move the car 
if need be.

Attachments (if any) are scanned with anti-virus software.

'66 beater Coupe - icemobile 4/140
