Hi,

The Dryer, the Better. Moisture (Humidity) is Not Good for Rubber Parts - promotes the growth of Mildew (Dry Rot - invisible kind which actually Eats Rubber, often seen as a white powdery substance). This is why many Long-Term Storage facilities use a sealed Nitrogen Atmoshere (Plus there's no OČ to Oxidize anything) and also many Museums and Long-Term Stored Cars use Nitrogen in the Tires - to prohibit Moisture accumulation and thereby reducing/eliminating Dry Rot. Also, Dry is best for Leather as well. Get your Man Land as Dry as possible. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
