Preserving bulldozer treads

I recently purchased a Dyson low loader with Case tractor that is in excellent condition. I've noticed that most of older Matchbox models that had rubber treads such as bulldozers and the Sno-Cat rarely still have their treads due to drying and cracking over the years. Is there any known way to preserve rubber treads and prevent cracking?

Like many things, time is the inescapable enemy of the treads/tracks.
