Ive just had an interesting conversation with a guy from MSAR safety about tyres, particularly yoko's. He was telling me that its best to dry them out for a few weeks before fitting due to them having excessive amounts of moisture inside them.

unless you are filling your tyres with nitrogen I don't see how you can keep the water out of them. On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:

Surely they a dry when you fitted them. E.g. not on the rim in the first place.? Also as long as they have been dry stored.
I drill holes in everything..! |

From what he was saying, it sounded like the water soaks into the inner lining from when the are air freighted over? And most trye places ive seen aren't exactly warm and dry places! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

wives tales! It is not possible for rubber to absorb water!

Hmm, I'll have some old tyres knocking about after my new ones are fitted. I might leave them outside for a few days when its moist and weigh them, then 'dry them out' and see what the difference is? https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

Me too. If you left a sponge the size of a tyre on the shelf at Kwik-fit, how long before it's absorbed 250g of water? And that's designed to hold water! Kwik-fit? How long before it gets fitted to someones car and passed off as a tyre? Hahah. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

He said he put them in an airing cupboard for a couple of weeks? Would be interesting to know if it makes any difference! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

Never mind trying to dry out your tyres, what you need is some of this http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=...&products_id=45
