Default Tire Dry Rot in Florida?

Is this common in Florida. Husband was at Ford dealer yesterday and was told all 4 tires need replacement due to dry rot in the tread. We purchased these Michelin tires in 2013 here in Florida. Not much mileage on them. Car kept in garage. Is this common here in Florida? Never experienced this up north. So every few years one has to replace tires not because the tread is worn, but because they rot from the heat??? Dealer said this is very common due to the extreme heat here. Geez...
