The petroleum chemicals leech out of them
Suck it up and buy new
I have seen tires come apart with no warning and wipe out the side of a car

These are the others. The tire I test fit on the car was so old it was a radial with a bias ply size on it. I cleaned them up nice though.

I inspected the inside of the tires and sure enough the tire was just starting to crack near the sidewall. They were a ticking time bomb. I can’t wait to put the new tires on so I can drive the car.
