Resurrecting an old thread...
A recent traction tire replacement where the first tire I tried to install snapped (fortunately the next one worked) got me to wondering.
1) Has anyone found a viable substitute for traction tires? Bullfrog Snot was done to death in previous posts, and searches for square/rectangular/flat o-rings don't yield any useful results. Surely there's a non-train industrial product that would work, but I just can't find it.
2) My stash of traction tires is stored in plastic bags at room temperature. Some are in great shape, and some are hard and/or brittle. What's the best way to store them?
