Default Storing your Foam tires

Wrap them in electrical tape? It doesn't leave residue, and keeps your foam tires new.

Well form my experience.

Ziploc bags and/or Tupperware. Also, keep them somewhere dark. Open air and UV rays are to be avoided.

Next season, give them a wipe with lighter fluid before the first use. Dry them off, apply your favorite traction compund, and race.
