thus must be stored or used only at temperatures at or above 14�F (-10�C) to maintain performance characteristics and to avoid any damage to the tire or injury to persons or property.

Possibly you can use a cheap/spare set of wheels & tires.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

If I leave my Yokohama Advan Neova AD07s on the car for winter storage, will they be unsafe for normal street driving next Spring?
Yokohama states:
...was developed using high performance compounds which become brittle at low temperatures, and therefore should not be used in certain conditions... thus must be stored or used only at temperatures at or above 14�F (-10�C) to maintain performance characteristics and to avoid any damage to the tire or injury to persons or property.
The tires are now three years old and have been autoXed and tracked. Traction is definitely not what it used to be, but there's plenty of tread.
I won't need the ultimate traction for next Spring, but want to be safe... Yokohama hasn't gotten back to me on what kind of damage occurs.
Maybe I should just cold store the tires and pick up Sumitomo's next Spring...
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Right--there's something with the new, soft compounds that they're NEVER supposed to go below a certain temp, driving on them or not, or bad things happen and they're ruined. So why would you risk it?
If I can find a definitive answer for what "bad" and "ruined" means, I can make an informed decision without risk. If I can't find an answer then the wheels come off... it's just a major PITA and I don't like leaving the car in storage on stands with the suspension uncompressed.
Yokos are the only tires I've seen that carry such a warning. I believe it has to do with the compound getting brittle in cold weather and developing microscopic (or macroscopic) cracks. Personally, I wouldn't risk it.
Would it be too costly to put a heater in your garage with the thermostat set to shut off at 0 deg C? I know it gets cold in Winterpeg, but I wasn't sure how much $$$ that will translate to in your situation.
The sidewall compound can freeze very easily and then cracks. Once you get those cracks in the sidewall, you are done. Can you not store them in an above freezing climate?
That's what I was looking for... if it was simply less-than-new traction, non-issue. But cracking sidewalls/tread is another thing...
Wheels will be coming off and transported back to my place, and the car will be going up on stands.
Thanks for the information!
I don't think it is recommended to store the car with the suspension unsprung. Due to certain suspension parts getting exposed to air & moisture. Possibly you can use a cheap/spare set of wheels & tires.
I have AD07s as well. I can't recall what the lowest safe temp is (Tirerack could be your friend). I installed a heavy duty heater plus thermostat in my insulated garage for those cold days/nights in Toronto. This is my second set and all is well.
