A couple years ago I had a ~12 year old tire blow out the sidewall while the bike was HANGING IN THE GARAGE.
The tire had very little wear on it, since it had spent most of it's life unmounted, hanging on the wall of the garage.
Oh, and this happened just two hours after I had been doing 45 mph down a hill on a busy road.

You couldn't pay me enough to ride tires that old again.
