So tell us, do you plan on crawling under the trailer and TV to do the inside sides of the tires?
Why would anyone? The inside doesn’t see the sunlight like the outside does.
Because tires dry rot without any exposure to sunlight.
Yes, but faster in direct sunlight. On my last trailer the 2 curb side tires were always facing the south so they got sunlight all the time. the other 2 were on the north. When I replaced the tires (every 5 years) the 2 that got the exposure always showed signs of dry rot on the outside sidewall. the side away from the sun always looked good as did the insides of the tires. sunlight will kill a tire especially those that sit for extended time!
