Re: Best tires that won't dry crack

Re. formula change in tire rubber. I had a small boat trailer made in the 1970's with original tires that were about 20 years old and not one crack on them. I guess tires, and probably all rubber products, are made to deteriorate for environmental purposes I suppose. I know plastic containers are.

According to the url sites posted above I need to drive it more. As little as I drive the truck, I think that's one reason they crack. I'm also thinking of buying RV tire covers to keep the sun off them and neighborhood dogs from marking them.
