Dave Russell ... (miss you buddy .. rip) ... used to pipe in about tire
rubber getting harder with age, even if they are kept in storage. He
recommended borrowing or having a tire durometer tester to check the
values when new and over time to know when the rubber is getting too
hard. Lots of good info if one searches for 'tire durometer' in the
archives.
I'm running Kumho's on the BJ7 that had excellent road feel when first
bought but now have about 6 years of storage on them and they are
noticeable harder (although don't have a durometer tester to prove it ;) )
Cheers,
John
