That bites. Mine were fine and I bought em maybe 5 or 6 years ago...they sat on a shelf for most of that time.
Did you cool em down with cold water after boiling em and did you lower the temp of the water to a very slow/light boil when boiling em?
To much heat can deteriorate rubber(as you have found), so you don't wanna ovedo it like I did at the track one day:
I drove home on that action(300 miles or so)...and bought new tires the next day. LOL
