I've noticed the tires on my car, which are no more than 3 years old(installed before I bought it in March of '08), are already weather cracking. Doesn't bother me though because they won't make it through next winter. I'll get better tires and move on.
My Wife's car has some Michelin's that were installed shortly before she got her car, which was somewhere around 6 years ago. They're checked pretty bad for what I would consider a good tire, but again I'm gonna have to replace them next year.
On my truck, I won't install too old of a tire because it's used sparingly and mostly for garbage duty and running to the farm. No way will I wear out a new set of tires before they blow. The last homeowner left behind a set of BFG's that are about 10 years old and 50% wear. Now 3 of 4 are on my truck. The last one still needs to be mounted for my spare. The old truck tires go home to the farm and are mounted on hay wagons.
As far as wagon tires go, we've got some that are well over 20 years old and are still holding loads in excess of 5 tons. Hauled 4 tons of wood pellets with one of our wagons on Friday, and of the 4 tires on it, it was a newer one that started leaking through the sidewall. It's got 2 newer ones on one side and 2 really old (probably 30-40 years old) tires on the other. Don't get me wrong, I'd never run one of those on a truck now, but for a wagon we'll run 'em till they pop. Then we'll put on another 6-10 year old truck tire.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
