Tire care and info needed

The tires are 6 ply and made in Rominia. The dealer said they are good. The tires have a "wavy" area inside from here the lugs are cast on the tire. Again I assume these will work?

The main question is preserving the tires as long as I can. Is there some material (Armor All, etc.)
that will help protect the tires for a long time as well as keeping them out of the Sun? Also on mounting what is the best way to mount the rear tires to keep them from getting damages as well as the rims?

Heres the deal, modern rubber formula is so much better than 30 years ago even if made in Rominia. And yes, you can find "cosmetic" tire protection chemicals but why bother? Bettcha 10 years from now yer tires gonna look just like they were new, even without chemical coatings.

As for the rims, yer old OEM rims are called "hat-section" and have value to nutty "originality restorers". I much prefer the not likely to rustout flower petal scallop rims..... ...Dell

Mounting? I'd use a vegetable soap.. or tire soap/grease.. no silicone or petro stuff as it can degrade the tube.

If you have a place to park it out of the sun.. that is probably the best thing you can do. Also.. if you let it set dormant ofr a season.. like when you are on vacation.. there is a procedure in one of the manuals for 'puttin ghte tractor up.. and I think it talks about jacking the tractor up to take load off the tires.. etc.

Not sure about any 'wipe or spray on' materials.. I know they make the tires 'look' nice.. but not sure they help.. I've heard that some tire shines may hurt the tire in the long run.

I'm sure a few others will be by to post more ideas.. perhaps a tire man etc..
