According to tyre manufacturers , tyres still can use .
And I concur with the manufacturers .

Usually the industry would recommend 6 years maximum. If your tyre still has >50% tread but already exceed 6 years from manufactured date, best to get it replaced.

Updated info: I replaced on mid of 2017. As your view, how long should a Tyre last (good to use) before replacement?
** I shall specific that I'm an Outstation and highway driver 😂

Aiya, forgot already.let me check check ya. Should be mid of 2016.

Another consideration is the tires condition. According to the replacement date, tires were 2yr+8months old since on the road. Still, although still hasn't reached the indicator mark, but tread seems faded? Some rubber on surface was peeled off 😅

fine for at least another 15-20k km, just monitor every half a year.

but, if you feel that the car doesn't grip as well for your usual corners or started to mildly aquaplane or ESP/VSA indicator light up more often, then just get it changed.

KinergyEX by the looks of it. Very close to TWI but not much life left. If its a daily driver I would change it. Not worth risking it.

what car are these on? does it have ESC or traction control?
even so, i would have concerns about wet grip with the all tiny water channels all worn away.
my goodyear Excellence had done about 44k and looks a bit better than your Hankooks but very close to the TWI already. i could have made it to 50k but i changed them.
