Dry rot happens when rubber sits, unmoving, on concrete for extended lengths of time. Happened to my bicycle up north. The bike shop told me to keep the bike off the ground in the winter, and it'd extend the life of the tires a couple more years. Concrete absorbs the moisture/oil/whateveritisthatyouneedtonotbedry.
