Also, a tire engineer buddy told me that if the tire companies  would revert
to a practice that was common 40+ years ago....wrapping the  tires in a
material to reduce air contact, the tires would have a  shelf-life measured
in decades.....just ask the  Army!

I know I always suggest to my Autocross competitors that they fully  Armorall 
their tires, especially the tread, in order to make them last longer.  They 
usually don't, though! -Seth
