Help!! Dry Rot On Tire Sidewalls

I just bought a Safari Trek and the tires have lots of tread and even some nipples. They look new but I see the dry rot cracking on the sidewalls. How do I stop this? I will be driving it daily, but it is in the Texas sun. I am told to use Armoral, then told NEVER to use it. On tire guy say never use any tired shine or protection, and another said use turtle wax UVA/UVB protection.

Has anyone used a tire protector that stops the dry rot from spreading over the years? I rotate my tires and want them to last a longtime, since they are EXPENSIVE.

I appreciate any help. Happy RVing.
