my tires from 2007 still have lots of tread. Do they lose grip sitting in the cold all winter? They have been in my garage and/ or trailer since october.

Should I order a new set for 2008 or will these still be as good?

They were purchased new in 2007 (if it matters)

thanks.

 

The older the faster, in fact I've heard they are even faster when you don't shave them....

 

i will stop shaving my nuts......

 

did you ever paint your car?

Toyo issued a warning about not storing their R compounds at below-freezing temperatures.

My garage is unheated, so I keep my track tires in the basement over the winter, and switch them with the winter tires I keep in the basement the rest of the year.

 

the warning is also about operating at below freeezing temps.

 

the old tire will be slower. Just keep them for practice, and/or races that don't matter too much. Just make sure to have a fresh new set for the big events.

In a FWD car I put the old tires in the rear and keep new ones up front. But you gots one of them crazy RWD race cars.

Oh, snap! I've run Toyo's in the snow before (Road America October?)

No dude. Save this set for Nationals. Toyo Tires are like cheese. They go stinky with age.

I went from last years tires that I was scared wouldn't make it through the 45 min race to new shaved tires and only dropped a tenth

Cheese gets better with age. Without age, it wouldn't be cheese.

HEY! Who cut the...
