Ok-so I heat cycled the tires on Friday and let them cool down in the sun till I moved them to the shade. Then ran them the rest of the weekend. So now what? The car will be dormant for several months. What is the proper way to store them? I know out of the sun and heat but what pressure and assume off the car would be better, too?

BL,
I will give you the answer. Don't tell anyone else. Put 110 PSi in them and sit them in a tub of paint thinner. Take them out right before the next event let all but 11 psi out and put them on your trailer and pull them around the block a few times with the race car inside. I'm sure this will help.
Just looking out for ya.

Who said to cool them down in the sun??....Nope - not a good idea. You have to cover them and put them in shade/trailer.........Race tires should always be out of the sun when not being used if possible. Think of what happens to your skin when you are in the sun all the time - same thing happens to a race tire.

FWIW, Bryan has done allot to support AI and CMC around US, not just for a few regions. At the MMP Nationals, be broken down, remounted and rebalanced 6-8 rims/tires for tech purposes, and refused to charge us a dime.
Additionally, if you have Toyo certs that are going to expire, contact him directly - he's helped countless racers with expiring certs.
He's the only Toyo dealer I'll do business with.
