I was pondering buying a spare front tyre but stopped due to longevity of the tyre, how long can it be stored for until it’s of no use. Practically though ~£250 every 4 or 5 years is a small price to pay for peace of mind. Does anyone know how long a tyre can be safely stored for?
Those in the trade tend to recommend swopping tyres at 6 - 7 years even if they have lots of apparent wear left, even storing a spare in the dark wouldn't extend it's life (safely) by much
I replace even an unused spare at 7 years as you never know when your life will depend on it
