I guess the tyres I'm looking at might have a few years left in them, but considering they'll be about £200 posted and fitted, I'm not desperate. I also then wonder if the difference between the shit tyres I have now and a set of decent summer tyres would be of sufficient benefit and a better way to spend my cash.
This is mainly an exercise in procrastination, but a useful exercise nonetheless.

I thought 6 years sounded old too but maybe not according to Michelin >>>
How old is too old? The five-year test
After five or more years in use, your tyres should be thoroughly inspected at least once per year. If the need arises, follow the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer regarding replacing the original equipment tyres.
As a precaution, if the tyres have not been replaced 10 years from their date of manufacture (see how to read a tyre ), Michelin recommends replacing them with new tyres, even if they appear to be in usable condition and have not worn down to the tread wear indicator
