If I remember correctly the City in the Sky program on Russia shopwed the ground crew pouncing on the wheels as soon as it was on stand to put upa sort of blow up tent around the tires even on turnaround -I think they and or the brakes stil had some nheat from the landing and they wanted to capture that but they wouldn't let the tyres cool , it was like minus 33 where they were, even on a turn around let alone overnight
