The optimum mounting temperature of a tire is between 15 °C
and 30 °C (59 and 86 °F) on the inside of the tire. The
temperature of the tire surface during the warm-up phase should
not be considered as the interior temperature of the tire. |

on an insulated surface a wood pallet or something similar.
Store the tires separately so that the surrounding air can warm
them quickly. |
