I'm no expert, but tires are not completely inert. Some deterioration has to occur. The thing I would worry about most is using the tires 5-10 years down the road. I'm sure they will be somewhat serviceable, but for how long and at what kind of use?

I don't worry about tires on my old truck so much because I don't carry much of a load at any time and I don't kick it up to past 100 now and then just for the hell of it.
