Tires age. Use up the tread or don't they still age.

That's my point. They used to age years beyond that. It's pretty sad when a 25 year old tire will hold together better than a 7 year old one. Go back even farther to gum rubber (actual rubber) to Firestone Gum-Dipped and you'll find my friend's '40 Harley with original tires with no rot. I was wondering the other day, do heavy equipment tires rot out in 6 years, too? You know, the tires that cost thousands of dollars each and cost hundreds to install.
