<for tire>
* Store tires in a cool, clean and dry building.
* Protect tires from sunlight and mercury vapour lighting.
* Protect tires from heat sources.
* Keep tires clear of ozone-generating motors.
* Keep the facility free from dirt, dust, oil, grease, solvents, water and other damaging materials.
* Stack tires vertically on appropriate tire rack, not directly on the floors. If deformed, tires must be amended.
* To avoid deterioration, storage time must be minimized. Always observe “First in, First out,” practice.
<for innertube>
* Innertubes should always be stored in a sealed enclosure.
* If the seal is damaged or broken, reseal the enclosure to prevent premature ozone crack damage on tubes.
* Exposure to weather, open door, sunlight, electric motors and fans can cause premature aging of the rubber compound, especially when folded
* Tubes stored in tires can be similarly affected if unprotected by a flap or rim.
* Always observe “First in, First out,” practice.
