how long do they last? what I mean is, does the suns UV's break them down & become brittle? I notice many of them are mounted on the outside of rigs.

IMHO the only ones worth the money are Maxtrax. I’ve seen the Treds disintegrate - inferior materials.
I bought TREDs and have cracked and or broken 3 pairs! They are always replaced free of charge but its a PITA to go to the shop I bought them from. Purchase the Maxtrax buy once cry once!
I've wondered if it would be possible to mod a pair by bolting, or otherwise attaching, a couple of steel square or rectangular tubes to them as reinforcements.
It appears that part of why they work is that they deform/conform to the ground. When I was a kid and my dad got our 72 Ford Torino stuck in the snow, he'd use the floor mats in the same way. I think you want them to flex.
