Hard Rubber - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

OK, this will probably get me a heap of grief, but what is the problem with hard rubber? I "acquired" 2 tires that are great except the rubber is pretty hard. My guess is they are either old and/or were out in the elements.
Anyway, what's the problem? Will traction suck? Will they crack and leak? Will they wear too quickly?
And another question:
Why not mix front to rear tires?
I'm done.
