Keep tires from dryrotting?

[bcost882]

So i have been looking around for ways to keep my other tires from dryrotting due to not being used. I understand that tires are supposed to be driven on and it will slow down the dryrotting process. I'm also not looking to spend a fortune on some space age goo. so if you have a good way have at it. I have heard that coating with WD-40 will help.

Best thing is to keep them in a cool, dry place out of the sun.

That and Armor All or 303 all over them. 303 is better but costs more.

I don't trust ArmorAll (and do not cover them with WD-40!).

Best way to do it is like was said, keep them out of the sun and in a cool place (cover them with tire covers if they're on the vehicle, or if they're sitting off the vehicle, put them in the garage in large plastic bags)

cover them with tire covers if they're on the vehicle,

Can't say I've ever seen a tire cover for a 35x12.5" tire.

OP's sig says he has 31s.

could use the ones they use on the large motor home wheels/tires. just a thought.

Those are what I have for mine, yes. I would think covers for 31s can be had almost anywhere though.

Getting the tires off the ground helps a lot. I used to hang my other set of tires up on the wall in my garage, worked really well.
