Yes, they can do. My Cups at OP were about 2.5mm and worn.

Typically the amount of heat cycles a tyre goes through is the main ageing factor I think. More so that age or tread depth.

I always think Cups are pretty good at keeping 95% of their grip even in old age. Cold or wet weather as always seems to make them seem worse than they might be in the dry
