Best explanation I heard was something like this; when a tire is used, it flexes. That allows the oils or compounds in the tire to warm up and more or less coat the tire again, protecting it from the elements, including the sun. When a tire sits, the oils in the rubber basically wash off and then the sun is free to wreak havoc on the tires.
That said it still seems like tires today just don't last as long. I swapped out some older bfg's that were on my old truck tonight because I'm selling it for parts, and those tires are still good enough for hay wagons. Some of the tires I put on are older than the truck itself I think.
The bfg's were left behind when I bought my house and they were the right size for me so I had them mounted on my truck. Probably 10 years old or better but were in a shed fora few years and non the worse for wear.
