Ya - that's my opinion.
Having the time to
"...get used to the limits of ANY tire" is a luxury you usually don't get in an emergency situation where you need the maximum traction immediately.
There is no upside to old/worn/dry tires with reduced traction. Period.
Telling someone to
"feel for the limits" of their old tires is irresponsible.
The traction limit of a new quality tire is extremely high, and most of us will never need to find that limit in normal riding. The same can't be said for old worn tires.
