Yep, it may be a newly repopped tire but it's the same really old and not so great design. I'll stick with my modern KDWs as long as they can serve me. They only have about 9k miles on 'em and I'm not worried about age deterioration. The car sits covered in a garage 99% of the time so the UV damage is minimal and that's the biggest part of what drives the argument for age replacement. Yeah, the repops would be "correct" but I drive my car to shows and events and don't care about concours level judging anyway.
