I just received this pair of tires and have a couple of questions about their storage for a few months:
1. See the shipping straps that are very tightly holding the two tires together... is it going to cause problems if I leave them attached like this or should the strapping be cut now so as to not deform a portion of the tires ?
2. I know that it's best not to expose the rubber to ozone. I have a refrigerator running about 20 feet away in the garage. Does that appliance motor produce enough ozone to be of concern ? Would you put the tires inside a black garabage bag if I should elect to store them over a few months and would that provide protection from ozone (if that is going to be a concern) ?
