Do tires exist that don't have these problems? Perhaps something made of a hard foam that doesn't deteriorate while stored?

Yes they do, for example: http://www.tannus.com
The trade off is that they're somewhat heavier and have more rolling resistance than a good air-filled tire.

I've found that keeping tires out of the sun makes the biggest difference. If kept out of the sun, bike tires can last a long time. One time I bought a bunch at the same time, and over the years I've regularly gotten one or two out of storage and found them satisfactory.
