Yep, because there really isn’t much difference. What happens with old tyres is you wear them down and the tread is thinner. Less rubber thickness generates less hysteresis forces internally and results in lower slip-angles.
Shave brand new 2018 tyre down to 1/2 tread depth (3/4 worn) and you’ll notice significantly lower grip right away.
