I remember seeing that on the TV a while ago. Never hear much about anyone throwing out tires due to age though.

I've seen some people run some ancient dry & cracked tires. Makes you wonder how they hold together.

Bet you $50 the tire failed on that van in the video because of low tire pressure and not age related at all. I see way under-inflated tires every single day on vehicles on the road, makes me mad people are so complacent with the maintenance of their vehicles.
