I keep reading about protecting tires. I think a lot of people have a mistaken impression that trailer tires are vulnerable to UV light and moisture. All tires are made with UV-resistant material in the rubber compounds. Do you cover the tires on your family car or TV? I doubt it. Covering TT tires isn't needed to protect them. In terms of moisture the same is true. Tires don't need special care. I do agree that parking them on pavers is far better than grass, but again, do you worry about this for your car?
One thing I don't see mentioned is tire life. Cooper tires and others recommend that tires be replaced after 10 years regardless of mileage. I keep reading about protecting tires.

This is some poster's opinion on an RV message board.
This is fact obtained from a tire manufacturerI'll choose to follow the later.
