Not much help with the old stuff but it always amazes me that guys will put on brand new rubber and then leave them exposed outside for 365 days a year. I have made up shields using old tubes (larger size) that I cut and use as a sleeve over the rubber if it's outside. Works great. And another hint is keeping the inflation pressure up, nothing cracks a tire like being worked when it's under inflated. Last thing is, NEVER (in my opinion) use stuff like Armourall on new rubber. In my experience it turns new rubber brown unless you keep putting it on. It also drys out vinyl dashboards contrary to what they claim. Sort of like heroin, once you start you gotta keep going.
