How to store it?

I have a set of Q2's I bought about 2 months ago and am planning to buy at least one more set of rosso corsa: in most of the review I read the R S were said to be more grippy than the Q2's. My plan is to go through 2 sets from sep to april and 2 sets of Q2's during the warmer months. If I buy enough tire to last me a year. Are they going to be ok baking in my garage during summer and a mild winter?

Let me know what your impressions are, I run the Q2's and love them. I have never run the RC's

I would say so. Tires are often a few months old when you buy them. A whole year is starting to compromise a bit of integrity. I think I would run 12 month old tires without worry.

Get a second set of rims and put your street tires on them. The sport/track tires are the ones that have to be really grippy.

Will do. The RC's rear is getting a little square but I still have a good 1500 lbs on it!!! That'd put me at about 4500 maybe 5000 miles not bad for a grippy tire. It maybe the suspension or the fact that I do a lot of twisties run though. It's hard to test tires because there is a lot of mileage between the tires sweet spot and when you actually change them but I'll try... I am also getting power pures

That's the first thing my suspension guy told me to do (extra rims) but for a newb like who is going to do about 3 track days before I get a track bike...

Cool they will most likely stay in a box. Power Pures and another set of Rosso Corsa are on their way!!!!
