In theory, perhaps. In practice, tires oxidize from the outside as well
as
the inside. I've noticed that every time I've bought expensive, long-life
tires, they have to be chucked because the sidewalls are rotting, even
though
the tread is still good. It's not just air, but pollutants (particularly
in
the cities). Ozone, a common urban pollutant, is particularly bad for
tires.

Ordinarily, I would just let this slide; but since the greenies have decided
that CO2 (which is nature's means of recycling oxygen) and O3 (which is
nature's cleanser of the atmosphere) are "pollutants" according to the
strange reasoning of their adled brains, I feel compelled to point out that
I suggested that the aircraft would be sheltered in a hangar--which would
protect the outsides of the tires from part of the damage. They still won't
last until the treads wear out, but it will help.
