Tires need to be used on a regular basis. The act of rolling under load releases flex compounds into the rubber, w/o these released compounds dry rot and UV damage are accelerated.

add poor air pressure control to the list and they will fail prematurely.

tire treatments like 303 do help some but it's only a surface treatment, the internals still need regular exercise to keep them flexible
