However, it is in the middle of the "Seafly 2018", but there is a presentation of "studless tires" in the world.Just listening to the story is a little cooler and thankful.
At that time, I thought it was a good way to store studless tires in summer.Studless tires are around Tokyo for about 4 months in winter.Studless tires are not disposable, so of course they will be stored for about eight months.
The other day, when I presented the presentation of the latest studless tire "Viking Contact 7" by German tire manufacturer "Continental", we asked an interesting story.
タイヤは、気温25度以下ならばひび割れなどの劣化はせず、5年ほどは使用有効期限が保てるそうです。しかし、保管状況によっては35度になると緩やかに劣化は進み、55度になるとたった2週間で1年間使ったのと同じくらい劣化し、75度だと3日間で1年分＝1ヵ月で10年分も劣化するそう（驚） ちなみに、ここでいう「劣化」というのは、「製品の性能が劣る」
Even though it is a hot summer 2018, the temperature is 75 degrees in Japan ... it is not in the sauna.However, it may be possible at 35 degrees or 55 degrees in the sun -closed location.I checked how to store good studless tires so that it would not be a "disposable one season".
■ First, wash with water
Rinse the mud, dust, and tire wax applied to the side wall by washing with water.At this time, if pebbles are caught in the tread surface, remove them with a flathead screwdriver so that they do not damage the tires, and dry them well.
■ Let's cover the cover
The world has a dedicated cover from the 1000 yen range, but the vinyl garbage bag (black is the best to prevent ultraviolet rays) can be substituted.Let's seal it firmly with gum tape.
■ Is it vertical or horizontal to put it?
If you have a wheel, you can put it on the side and pile up 4, but if there is no wheel, the stack of four will be deformed with a layer.Also, if you put it vertically, it is better to rotate it without leaving it so that the ground surface with the floor does not become a flat spot.It is even better if there is a tire rack (about 5000 yen or more).
Yes, if the wheels are with the air pressure, the air pressure of the tire should be dropped to about half so that the rubber is pulled and deteriorated.
■ The finest storage method is wrapped with wrap
Before applying the cover, there is also a method of wrapping it with a wrap film (food wrap) so that it does not dry.This is a method that is often done when storing slick tires by Kore and Sunday racer, so it is effective to keep the studless tires fresh!
■ Big enemy for deterioration!Ultraviolet rays and hot and hot humid are NG
Wash, dry and cover ... Now, where should I put it?Avoid direct sunlight so that tires avoid the big enemy of ultraviolet rays, and a well -ventilated place without moisture is the best.It is no good to leave the veranda because the rain and wind cannot be overtaken.In the room ... I used to be angry with tires when I put tires in a bedroom -based room.
After all, it seems that the inside of the garage or entrance, which is locked to prevent theft, is the best.In addition, there are some places where automotive supplies stores, tire shops, and gas stations also offer "custody services", so please check your neighborhood.
In order to wear studless tires in the best condition next season, it is clear that the storage method in summer is also important.It's not too late now!
