Auto Tires sitting unmounted in a dry cool place will save along time. Take that tire off the rack, mount it, run it 2000 miles and then store it and its gonna dry rot faster than if it was heat cycling on the car everyday.

Motorcycles are light and depend on that inch and a half or less contact patch to be fresh and sticky. Auto tires with 4000 lbs of car pressing its tread into the pavement are not so heat and compound dependant.
