"The tires sat for months without being exercised. That allows a set to develop in the sidewalls and the oils in the rubber to leach out where it contacts the ground."

No offense, but I'm not sure I buy into that explanation....since new in 06, our rig sits for months at a time, I certainly do not exercise the tires....so far so good. Can you point us to some written documentation that suggests this ? I'm always ready to learn something new.

Regards
