6 months should be no problem. Much more than a year might be a different story. Keep them dry and away from sunlight and electric motors — they give off ozone that degrades rubber — so don’t park them right next to the clothes washer/dryer. — Mike Kohlbrenner <kohlbren (-a t-) an dot hp dot com> sorry!

I want to know if it’s advisable to buy a set of tires and store it for later use. The period of storage would be about 6 months (from now till the end of the year). I was thinking about purchasing a set of Dunlop sp8000s for later use since TireRack has them relatively cheaper than other performance tires. Thanks!

That shouldn’t be a problem. All the dealers store tires for long periods. I wouldn’t recommend leaving them in the sun, though. Watch for spiders when you get around to mounting them
