I don't have any old tires but was just curious about what I had been told. The gist of the conversation was that as long as tires were kept resonably in use then they would last longer than a tire that is sitting for an extended period of time because the natural oils in the rubber "worked" through the tire resulting in keeping them more pliable rather than age cracking, drying out and deteriorating.
