Tires do have a shelf life. The rubber dries out and gets hard. One thing you can do to slow the process is seal them up in large black garbage bags. So your sealing not only from air circulation but from UV rays.

Also drag racers sometimes use a spray on liquid that is supposed to soften up dried rubber.
