Yeah and at least try to go for a spin around the block every 2 or 3 weeks.Maybe just enough to get the engine up to operating temp too...

 

Well heck, when my bro fish tailed his 83 firebird into a telephone pole, we put it between the oaks and pulled her straight again. Since it messed up his American Racing rims, the previous owner had given him two of the original rims with two of the original tires. Aired them up, stuck um on, did a few burn outs, then he drove on them for 3 months till he ran it in a ditch, then came the motor swap into a 84 camaro. Point is, he was running 20 year old tires that performed like new

 

I agree, cover the tires to keep the sun (uv light) off. UV light will kill a tire. According to the RV industry, (RV's sit more than they are used) they recommend replacing tires at no more than 7 years old regardless of looks, condition, or milage.

 

buzzy, if you want to sell those stock tires cheap, let me know. My originals are getting thin and I will be needing some. Money is tight so keep me in mind.

 

My spare on the DAKhung under the truck for 11 years, used once long enough to get to the tire store, then I got another DAK for spare parts but the dam thing was to fast to part it out and its been running on that spare for 10000 miles now.

 

I'm prolly gonna hang on to them. Every time I get rid of something I been holding on to, about a week later I will need it.......lol
