I believe what they say, but I am now concerned about the tires on my
classic car. About 7 yrs ago I bought up the last ones which were
available in the US at that time as spares. The ones on my car are just
as old. So are the tubes which I bought for the tires.
Are there any approved protection techniques for tires? Or can the
essential oils be replaced with a swab of some kind? Why shouldn't
storage in plastic help? After all, the vapor pressure should build up
inside the wrap and help retain the volitles in the tire.

There's never enough time to do it right the first time.......
Stored tires can be wiped with brake fluid (contains rubber perservates)
and wrapped to increase life. However, rubber is not stable. Even
sealed in inert gas it will continue to break chains and cross-link, but
at a reduced rate.
