buy tires for boleros?
<center><img src="http://www.tirerack.com/images/tires/bfg/bfg_gforce_ta_kdw2_ci2_l.jpg"></center><p>i'm trying to decide weather or not to bother buying tires for my boleros. A tire place around here is selling BF Goodrich tires buy 3 get one free, so i can get 4 KDW 2 for around $425. The thing is that around december or so, i'm probably going to be activated to go to Germany for 15 months. Would the tires be okay sitting in the basement for over a year? I'd have my crappy all-seasons on the car when it's sitting, so i'm not worried about flat spots.
Anyone used these tires before? the reviews seem pretty good. I want a good summer, performance tire.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Ftires%2Ftires.jsp%3FtireMak e%3DBFGoodrich%26amp%3BtireModel%3Dg-Force%2BT%252FA%2BKDW%2B2%26amp%3BvehicleSearch%3D false%26amp%3Bpartnum%3D44YR7GFTAKDW2%26amp%3Bfrom Compare1%3Dyes">link t

Also, now might be a good time to sell the Boleros.
You're going to Germany, you can get the forged Boleros for cheaper then what you paid of the cast ones. Plus, you'll be sure to find another set of wheels that you will like more. It's a thought.
P.P.S. - Will you be willing to ship parts overseas ;-)

Store flat on its side, and a tire won't get flat spots.
If you have stored a tire on a wheel, and it is/was mounted on a car for a while without being driven(i.e., flat-spotted), there's a good trick that works most of the time. If this is the case with you, then let me know and I'll fill you in.
