Default tires in storage
In article . com,
(dpb) says...

"Longer", maybe, yes. I can attest that tractor tires won't live
"forever", however, from UV. They are very prone to developing deep
cracks at the base of the tread bar and will fail under use. Takes a
while, but more rubber and plies alone don't eliminate the problem,
just extend it...

I use UV protectant on my tractor tires, and park the tractor under
cover whenever possible. At $600 apiece, I want them to last as long as
possible.
