Best way to care for Hoosier Wets (H2O) - from Hoosier

Post by StephanAlfa » Tue May 23, 2017 12:45 pm

Sharing a nice response from Hoosier on proper care for Hoosier H2O, hope this is good advise for my fellow COMSCC members and racers:
Stephan,
Good afternoon. The best way to store Hoosier H2O WET tires is to keep them in Black Trash Bags in a climate controlled area – basement, shop or warehouse. Really if your garage does stay above freezing, the tires will be fine through the winter being stored there.

The two most damaging elements to our race tires is prolonged direct sunlight exposure and sub-freezing temperatures.

There is no reason to vacuum seal or keep the surrounding air from them, it is really direct sunlight that damages them the most.(black trash bags!)

Any other questions, please write me.

Reading this information from Jeffrey, I would assume this is for all Hoosier Racing Tires as mentioned.

I do keep mine in the house cellar all winter but never in trash bags.

This is good to know.

Thanks,

BB
