Default tires in storage

How long would you expect a set of car tires to last when stored in the
garage?

By stored I mean dismounted, no rims, no wheels, kept out of sunlight as
best you could.


I've heard of guys racing at Bonneville using tires from the 50's and
60's that were dusted with talc, bagged, and kept in cool dry storage.

I don't know if I'd have the balls to do that, but apparently no tire
mfgr. is willing to make new tires for certain types of land speed race
cars due to liability reasons.
