Also Synthetic rubber as used in tires and natural rubber as used in some tires BOTH respond to this same chemical reaction.
While you don't need to cover your car tires because you don't park them for weeks at a time and you replace your car tires about every 4 years many folks do not wantt o replace their 1/4 worn RV tires at 4 years.

Do they not recommend replacing tires every 6 years/
I have a car that only has 17,000 miles on the original tires. The tires still had lots of tread left. $1,200 later new tires and still only 150 miles on them so far.
