Looking for some opinions from RS'ers.

Gonna take off my Nokian Hakka's in a week or so. The front's have approx 60% tread left, the rears 40%, but they are 8 years old now (manufactured in 2008 according to the sidewall). The snowflake is still visible within the tread grooves of all four tires. Worth it to run another winter season next year?

I've read that at about the 8 year mark, winter tires compounds have deteriorated to a point where they won't have the same ability to stop in icy conditions. Thoughts?
