So, I have the chance to use a full spare tire now. I'm borrowing a wheel from a set my BIL has left in storage for 7 years now in a fully enclosed basement. Took off nearly full tread w/ OE wheel setup for his custom setup.
He hasn't inspected them in a while afaik, so he didn't know if the tires are dry rotting or not. I plan to replace it with a new/almost full tread tire I have from my current set of tires when I replace the CS5 Ultras with Yokohama Avid Ascend. Out of sheer curiousity before I get some pictures, any clue as to if that kind of loose storage in a basement would still lead to dry rot after 7 years?
