Don’t store tires in direct sunlight or near electric motors. (Electric motors emit small amounts of ozone.) Tires need to be protected from light, especially sunlight. Light causes ultraviolet damage by breaking down the rubber compounds. The storeroom should not contain electrical welding or any other equipment that could produce ozone. 2. Don’t apply any chemical treatments to Hoosier tires. (It’s not necessary and may actually damage the integrity of the tire by breaking down the rubber properti
