Only thing is with them is being 6 years old, not a huge issue but even if they have very low miles the rubber can degrade and crack over time.
Obviously the Boosts are great though, and if the price is down it's still a good buy for sure.

They shouldn't crack in 6 years unless they're cheap (which Goodyear MT are not), 10 years is the industry standard for replacing them if I remember correctly? 1993 200 Tdi 90 CSW

Kit - You are right, I don't know 10 years was the standard as a rule then?
I know they need to be kept an eye on after around 6 years though but as you say, mainly applies to cheaper brands.
That and being stood and not in use for long periods of time. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

Michelin say:

How old is too old? The five year test

After five years or more in service, 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 sidewall), 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.

10 years recommended to replace even if they look fine
