It got to be so bad looking I finally replaced it but it never did blow out. The other three were long gone by then. The brand names wimped out early but the off-breed tire won out.Go figure!
The local CO-OP still has some CO-OP/AgriService tires on some of their Anhydrous wagons. They're 11L-15 rib implement tires, but the tread pattern looks a bit like a wide 4-rib front tractor tire. They've got to be 30 years old, and, although they have some wear, they have very little or no cracking. They sit outside every day. No new tire made today will look like this in 10 years under the same circumstances.
We had two 200 bu. gravity wagons that we pulled together for years. Front one had "Grand Prix" 11L-15 rib tires on it. I don't recall where they came from, but they were good "cheap" tires. They rode well, wore well and we never had a problem with one of them. I do remember the wagon behind it got new Armstrongs once. Those 4 tires were anything but long wearing smooth riding crack resistant rib implement tires.
