I have read with interest having just swapped the wheels / tyres on our special. It has a set of longstone Ruby tyres probably 5 years old and all ok no cracks and all in good condition, even the spare which is on the back of the car probably lots of exposure to the sun. The Firestone tyres I swapped over I bought about the same age are all ok as well.
But the Avon tyres on my daughters C1 which I bought all perished in two years. But they only had one split in the tyre which went all round the tyre just above the wheel rim. I probably should have had a debate with the garage but I guess with out cutting the tyre up it is difficult to see how deep the perish split is.
You may have been unlucky with longstone tyres but it may not just be their tyres which are perishing.
