Default Storing rubber tyres, additives?

Hi Guys,

How do you store rubber tyres to keep them supple and not dry out? Is there an additive you can spray on or similar to keep them fresh?

Cheers....

Never had a problem with the UK style tyres as i only open the packet when im going to use them, then they are knackered within a few runs so ready to be thrown away.

When i raced touring cars however i would use a product called tyre tweak and put them in a clear plastic bag in between events to keep the rubber fresh. Suntan lotion also works
