Funny, I learned that it was UV rays and ozone which degrade rubber.
If it was oxygen I would expect that the inside of my tires would degrade faster than the outside. I have observed consistently that the opposite is the case, which reinforces my UV and ozone hypothesis.
Can you provide a link or citation which supports the oxygen-degradation theory?
the dsbrantjr axiom: If one thing can degrade a tire, then another thing cannot.
Ozone is nothing but three atoms of oxygen btw.
