I had a bike that had sat for 20 years in a backyard on it's original tires, I ran them for about four years and they never showed any wear on them. Of course I am sure the tread would have gripped the road like the iron band around a wagon wheel, and they were not under the load that a Goldwings tires are either.
Please don't follow that bad example, use good judgement and keep an eye on them. If they grip well and look good then they should be fine, however the manufacturer who is only interested in selling more tires, and protecting themselves, want you to buy new tires every three to five years.
