Thanks for the tips guys, they all seem reasonable and probably common sense.
And in all honesty I guess I can even accept it on the 2 boats described above as they are outside all year long (though tarpped all the way to the ground on both sides) and the tires in question are at least 5 years old, and maybe 6 or 7,,,
But for boat #3 (not yet discussed) it is a 2007 boat and trailer that allegedly spent most of its life inside a dealers showroom until it was sold June 2010, from the point on it lived under a metal storage building (which I did observe) until I just got it. The tires have virtually no wear, but are showing the first signs of dry rot on the sidewalls. Well all but the spare,,, (Carlisle tires in this case)
So again whats up with the spare tires not rotting, but the tires on the axles rotting at excessively fast rates? It really is annoying, not to mention EXPENSIVE!
