  3. Tire storage..

    Tires are organic compounds. The typical life span is six years. Both years in storage and years in use count against the total. In several ways, storage can be accidentally worse than average road conditions.

    There is also a lot of oils in rubber/synthetic tires. Oils in general, will show a noticeable change in properties in as soon as 3 to 12 months. The shelf life of a sealed container of oil is five years.

    Nothing is forever, even glass will flow out of a window pane, given a few thousand years. It's a liquid (amorphous solid).

    Per mil specs, oxidation, ultraviolet light (sunlight), ozone, and solvent vapors will all degrade a tire. (MIL-T-4L; A-A-52408) Military storage will avoid all that, using preservative coatings, shrink wrap and metal strapping, compressing a stack for on a skid. Except for the Navy, which doesn't like plastic wrapping and metal straps.

    Typical shelf life for any rubber/polymers in the military is 6 years, and then they get rid of it.

    So does this go for condoms too? Lol

    Where do you wear it? Strong side? Pancreas? Small of back?

    Got a owb fobus paddle holster last week, similar to the Blackhawk serpa. Doesnt print well AT ALL. So picked up a Blackhawk iwb cheapo nylon holster a few days ago. Prints much better, but harder to get comfortable while driving, and was hoping to be able to get away from iwb

    Im confused. Printing means that the shape of the firearm shows through the clothing. Normally for concealed carry you don't want to print...

    Guys and Gals,

    Please quit talking about guns. I am very sensitive and they scare me to be around them or the murderous people that own and carry them. I cant believe the people on this site are so oblivious to the fact that guns kill people! You need to open your eyes and realize this. Thank you for your understanding.

    Sincerely,

    TheScaredGuy.

    So sowwy...
