I think 5 years old is the issue. My Michelins now have five seasons on them and have definitely fallen off the cliff. They are like hockey pucks and nowhere near as sticky as they were when new, despite having lots of tread left.
This was definitely made clear to me last weekend. I was coming out of the top of a cloverleaf pushing 100 kph and I got on the throttle a little too early, broke the back end loose, and went almost sideways. (I love how easy it is to recover these cars from an unintended drift). The tires would never have slipped like this a year or two ago. So, new shoes for next season.
