All else being equal, sure. But loads of people are rolling around on such janky crap that the tire compound being in sub-optimal condition due to age is the least of their concerns. A 2015 winter that actually has tread will do a lot better than the bald all seasons they currently have on. Every time I've sold a set of crappy tires that I price and advertise as rollers/the value is in the rims someone shows up on something way shittier and says they're going to be using them.
