Default Tires and meds

In your various MP campaigns, does anyone address how long consumables such as tires, meds, ammo and food would last in the extended sleep scenario used in the core rules?

In other words do you generally assume all the teams consumables are factory fresh when they wake up? Meds certainly have a finite shelf life for instance, and ammo gets unpredictable with age. Rubber tires detiriorate under normal storage conditions.

Was just wondering if everyone assumes the project's preservation techniques are good enough after 150 years.

I know one module, cant remember which mentions that a biker group was the envy of their rivals because the actually had rubber tires on their motorcycles rather than steel rimmed wheels.

That got me to thinking about what it would take to keep chemical compounds like tires, meds, gunpowder from degrading over the course of a century and a half.
