Reply To: Rubber tyres and perishing

Hi Rich,
I cant help you with the engine, but when it comes to perishing tyres, UV rays (sunlight) is the biggest culprit.
It would certainly be better to keep the tyres inside, especially the original ones as they will already be a little more fragile.
In an ideal world, it isn’t really good to leave any machine outside in the elements, just look how quickly the brake discs on your car rust if you haven’t used it for a few days.

Joe.
