Ordinarily, I would just let this slide; but since the greenies have
decided that CO2 (which is nature's means of recycling oxygen) and O3
(which is nature's cleanser of the atmosphere) are "pollutants"
according to the strange reasoning of their adled brains, I feel
compelled to point out that I suggested that the aircraft would be
sheltered in a hangar--which would protect the outsides of the tires
from part of the damage. They still won't last until the treads wear
out, but it will help.
You're suggesting hangars are so airtight that CO2 and O3 are somehow
sealed away from the tires inside? The effect of O3 on tires is not
through increased UV or global warming. It's direct chemical interaction
with the polymer chains in the rubber compounds.


Not at all. However, UV is supposedly a player in rubber deterioration.


Via a separate mechanism. That's why tires are made and/or treated with
ozone protection additives.

There is not much you can do about O3, you'll just have to live with it.


Bull****. Reduce the amount of hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxides emitted by
various sources and you reduce the amount of low-level ozone produced by
their interactions. I'm not talking about the ozone layer here. I mean the
air we're breathing at our level of the atmosphere.


....and YOU are going to accomplish all of that for the good of your tires in
YOUR hangar...

WOW! I'm VERY impressed.
