I know folks try and take their slicks and store them in "warmer" temps over the winter. Is there any reason to do the same with Drag radials? I have another set of wheels I can swap onto my car for the winter, but didn't know if it mattered?

Thanks,

Rick

If nothing else, I would jack the car up and put stands under the frame so the weight is off the springs and tires. Then at least they won't flat spot.

No Reason no not heed these suggestions if your car is just sitting.. I Remove the Racing Tires - air them down to 5 PSI and Stack them in a corner of the basement (which is Heated) I dotn cover them 'cause My basement is dark unless I am working in there.. and I try to keep them away from electric Motors.

Thanks, Rick
