| 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 | |

I'll go with the science and replace them looking at the production date. The cost is negligible taking safety into account. My family travel with me and their safety is quite important to me.
Even 8 years, in my books is too long time for the rubber compound to survive.
