I believe it's on there to keep the tire clean from other chemicals that could harm the rubber. I would leave on it till you use it.

Keep it wrapped. Even just air moving across a motorcycle tire can cause the rubber to dry out. This can lead to cracking later in life.

How do you keep the air off the tire when you ride it LOL

I guess it depends for how long. I would want to check and see if its the tire I ordered, date of manufacture on the tire, and check for any defects. Most places have a limited time to return the item.

I would unwrap it and let the tire spread out. Makes mounting a lot easier. Check the date on the tire also.

Hey Rick. He did say to leave the plastic on Might gradually get more difficult as you increase in speed too.

I dont order one until I'm ready to change. I open it up, let the beads spread a little if need be and check date codes right away. I got a tie once that the freakin beads were touching. I had to put a couple wood blocks in to spread it a little. Or I would have never got it to seat.
