The first picture reminds me of many many tires we used to use on the farm - we were always reusing tires for equipment that were questionable for "road use", it was always surprising how long those still worked (some from old wagons (which took the most sunlight abuse and look very much like that picture) still pump up and roll even though we don't actively farm any longer).
We always had our own tire changer and balancer - still prefer to use that equipment today yet. But...I married into a family where my father-in-law owns a tire business, so sometimes instead of getting tires from Sam's club or even Fleet (since I'm generally a relative cheapskate) and mounting them myself, we occasionally receive tires and mounting from him now as family gifts - which I greatly appreciate - just was an adjustment not to do them myself. But I have to say, one of the brands he's had good luck with on vehicles - and as a result us as well - has been the KUMHO brand. I had never heard of them before that, and was personally a little leery about how I felt about them, but I have to admit they've turned out to be pretty good on our vehicles.
Of course everyone's mileage may vary (pun intended).
