Matt Harwood Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 25 year old tires not holding air shouldn't be a surprise, regardless of how they're stored. Rubber is perishable. Even if I keep a gallon of milk in my refrigerator under ideal conditions, eventually it's going to turn into cottage cheese. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC5 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Maybe if they were stored in a nitrogen or argon atmosphere (in the dark)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
