Usage and Storage Temps for Cup2's and Sport 4s tires.

[TRDFurgesson]

I just searched this forum and came up empty handed. Michelin says the hard deck for temp on these is 40 degrees F even for storage. I can see that for usage but storage too??

I've stored mine all winter in the garage and haven't noticed any issues. I am careful not to drive on them when too cold though.

Oh yeah, you got a funny name.

The summer only tires are a different compound and get “freeze” if they get too cold. Then when the temperature goes back up they thaw and could start cracking. General rule of thumb is to store in a climate controlled area that doesn’t get below freezing but some manufacturers have different guidelines based on their specific tire compounds. Basically want to avoid a lot of back and forth from below freezing and above freezing temps (the freezing/thawing cycles of the compounds). I keep mine in my basement during the winter.
