Hi all,
For people living in climates with cold winters...
This will be my first winter with the R, I am wondering what do you guys do with the sport cup 2's in very cold weather... Michelin says that they should not be kept at temperatures under 32F:
It is recommended these types of tires be removed from the vehicle and stored indoors at temperatures maintained at above 32 degrees F (0 degrees C) when not in use.
Tires accidentally exposed to temperatures of 32 degrees F (0 degrees C) or lower must be permitted to gradually return to temperatures of at least 70 degrees F (21 degrees C) for at least 24 hours before they are flexed by adjusting inflation pressures, mounting them on wheels, or using them to support, roll or drive a vehicle.
In order to allow gradual, uniform and thorough increase in tire temperature, these types of tires should be protected from direct sources of intense heat as they warm up. Do not apply localized heat, blow heated air directly on them, nor place them near a heat source.
Do you take them off and keep them inside ? The garage where I store it is not heated, and it will get under 32F for sure, heck it might get 5-10 F for sure at some point. I have only 3000 miles on them and I was hoping I will get by another year ...
Thanks!
