My brother who was a big shot at Couples Company in Missouri ( they made tires and tubes) many years ago, has always told me if the tire sits for too long without moving on the road the carbon black that is added to the rubber will dry out and this is what causes most dry rot. On a trailer I can really see this happening as a trailer is not used as frequent as a car. I can say I have never had any tire dry rot that I used, I did have a trailer tire dry rot from just sitting. so I still believe that is true today.
