I read that the shorter and more limited life of new tires is due to the materials of which they are made. The new compounds are designed so that the tire will decay into nothing over a short period of time. This is probably to eliminate the large number of tires that end up in dumps and are a problem when (1) rain collects in them, which breeds mosquitoes, and (2) when they catch fire, which is almost impossible to extinguish, before they can be recycled.
