Cutting tires

I was looking over the past couple days post & I ran across one on "protecting tires from the sun". One poster recommended cutting an older tire (the same size as the one needing protected) & laying it over the good tire. My question is what & how is the easiest way to cut tires???
 
get the small and large disc made for cutting tires, check out a tractor pulling magazine for an advertiser. Get the biggest fan you can find, a shade tree to work under, and a windy day and go to town, but be careful those grinding discs will eat ya!
 
Turning old tractor tires inside out to make tough cattle feeders is popular here. To do that you need to cut out one side about 4 inches from the bead. I was flat amazed how easily the guy did that with just a common box cutter knife.
 
Just cut a large pay-loader tire today into four pieces. Once through the middle like a bagel and then in half. Use them for manure scrapers. Used my JD CS56 chainsaw. Took 2 chains and about 2 hrs. The tire was 80" tall.
 
I've used a good sharp butcher knife with some dish water soap and a hammer to beat the knife thru the rubber. Or take a sawzall or jigsaw and sharpen the blade like a knife edge and then use liquid soap along with it. The soap lets the blade slide thru better without binding up. You don't have to worry about hot rubber pieces flying every where either.

You'd be suprised how well it works.
 
Is there any possible way in our modern times to slow down the weathering of tractor tires, mine are beginning to split and they are almost 20 years old on a 9N..
