So I bought a used car earlier this year and the owner gave me a set of Toyo Garit KXs with basically new tread on all 4 tires. The issue is that the tires were manufactured in 2007 and 2008...I have noticed the tires are bit hard when I feel them with my hand. I know that newer winter tires typically have a grippy feel.

Should I buy a brand new set of winter tires...when the existing tires are practically brand new with no cracking whatsoever?
