How can I protect my tyres from perishing?

All four tyres on my SUV had to be changed prematurely due to excessive perishing. Unfortunately, parking my vehicle on the drive is exposing it to all day sunshine when the weather permits. To avoid the same issue with my new tyres is there a product I can use on the tyres to eliminate or help reduce the problem?

I would suggest buying a car cover that will protect the tyres from UV light: kit.honestjohn.co.uk/top-tens/top-10-car-covers/
