Sure there was turbulence that cost HP, but it was worth it, IMO. I've considered doing the same for the Evo, but just haven't gotten under there to measure clearances. |
good lord anyone else run 18s?

im storing until june lol going to put each in it's own plastic bag

I may need to store until next season LOL. Who knows how old they are at this time anyway, I guess.... I just realistically don't know when I'll be buying 18s.
Could be next month or next year. Bleh. For that price, I can't resist trying them, though. |

Probably old inventory to begin with. I don't know that another season of storage would make much difference.

Literally until the end of time as long as they don't get much colder than 30F and have at least a bit of humidity
I thought they'be destroyed by spring, but they were still felt like they had great grip. In fact, I felt like I got slower when I installed my new RE-71R due to the full depth tread squirm. What actually happens to performance tires stored below freezing temps? I've never found any real information about it, other than guidelines to let frozen tires warm up before mounting or flexing them. |
Link says out of stock for me

I always store my good autocross tires in the house over winter because I heard the same thing. Except last year, I left my nearly-spent RE-71R in the freezing garage all winter. Probably dipped below freezing 10-20 times over the winter. I thought they'be destroyed by spring, but they were still felt like they had great grip.

Got damn it I would have grabbed a set for spares. I set up an alert just in case they come back in stock |

I'm just not convinced that the same damage applies to RE-71Rs stored in bags in my attic over the winter. I still bring the good set of tires into the basement just to be safe. My wife hates it, though. |
