I pulled the motor out of my car and need to do some work on my truck and wanted to do it in my garage and be warm  ...Anyway my question is will this be an issue for the tires?? I don't want to have to replace them as they have less than 50 runs on them and I can't get them off the car in the trailer...And it does get into the single digits here and below that  ..... _________________  running E85 Best ET 8.07 Best MPH 170.71 Barry

Barry, haven't heard much said about tires that are in a cold environment? After all, most if not all warehouses are not heated. Only thing I've read/heard is that ozone, like what is produced by electric motors, etc is what kills tires.  _________________ Big Boyz Toyz!

What Ken said. I don't heat my garage and have never had an issue with my tires. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to get the weight off of them. Jack it up just enough to get the tires off the floor.

Looks like you guys are right as I called MT tech today only other thing he said is to jack it up as you said and was going to do that anyway but to also wrap them in a big black trash bag..

When I lived back in Canada years ago, it would get down to -20 or -30 in the garage. In spring, after the thaw, one good burnout and the tires were ready to go.

I also have never had an issue, and my car sits in the trailer not jacked up from Oct.- April. Like said, one good burn-out and good to go.
