I would say the opposite. If they look good they probably are. My winter tyres are 10 years old and there's nothing wrong with them. Some people have a very strong view on this and I don't need to hear them again but my view is if it was so serious it would be a check during the MFK. MFK check the condition not the production date. I'd rather my 10 year old winters rather than new all-seasons.
While I understand the arguments, google says:
Touring Club Switzerland (TCS)
recommends waiting no more than
eight years to replace your winter tyres
