How "decidedly not" new are the existing tires? If they're going to be

They're not new but they don't seem to be wearing out. So as you say,
they might have a long, happy life ahead of them, in which case I'd
like to get the new tubes in and quit inflating them all the time!

A&Ps have replaced several tires on my Warrior without replacing the
tubes. They always told me that they don't replace tubes as long as
there's nothing wrong with them.

Thanks to everyone for the responses.
