I asked a guy that I know who works at a local tire dealership about tires wearing out now due to age. He said that one reason is because the tire manufacturers don't use as much real rubber in modern tires anymore. To get better mileage and wear and to make the tires stronger they use more "other" ingredients instead of the good, old fashioned rubber from rubber trees. Sounds reasonable to me.
