It's true, tires are designed to be used often and not be sitting for very long periods of time unused in a very hot garage or in intense sunlight. Florida is not a good environment for tires, unless you use your vehicle often and wear them out from driving before the dry rot gets them. Cracks in the sidewall are a telltale sign.
