Long term radial safety?

My winter car has a set of five year old Michelins that have sidewall rot. I don't drive the car a lot, but I will soon have to replace a set of relatively new, low miles tires.

Is this an issue to manufacturers? It sure is to me. How about you?

Have you checked your classic for disintegration of the sidewalls or in the sipes?

What--if anything--do you do to prolong tire life? Is there anything that can be done that realistically will help?
