Default Tires and Dry Rot!

Last weekend I was cleaning some equip. around the yard and noticed cracks in the sidewalls of some of my stuff.

Question is how do you guys prevent dry-rot so that you get more value from your tires?

Keeping the tires covered either with covers or something similar will help quite a bit. Tire protectant will help, but some tire shine products will actually promote the drying out of the tires.
