Yes, I do believe UV light is a tires biggest enemy. That is probably followed by heat.

Keep it cool and in the dark.

that's a good article ... Ideal would be to take the bulb out of the freezer and store it there HHaa.. I think I will put it in a dark garbage bag and tie it shut and store it inside of a building.... Or I could maybe sell it.. a Dunlap 3000 rf. It's gonna be a while before I get to use it.. got 8000 miles on the one I have on now and still looks like new...Got 22000 out of the kumho rf I took off ..... went to a non rf to see the difference....Thanks for the prompt reply

Are we saying, store it in the freezer next to the veg-i-ta-bulls?

Also keep it off the ground, concrete floor, dirt, whatever. Those things can shorten the tires life. Just a piece of cardboard will work.
