<VV> Tire care

[Frank DuVal]

Just storing them indoors out of sunlight helps the most. Not mounted, 
and away from ozone makers (sparks). I have some 900 x 14s still wrapped 
in paper that look fine. Whether they are safe is another matter!

If you store whitewalls, make sure they are wrapped or stored whitewall 
to whitewall. Whitewall touching black will stain.

People with RVs use a tire cover to cut down on UV degradation. The 
cover should keep sunlight off, so the more it wraps around the tire the 
better.

I never understood the anti Armour-All, etc group.
