If the knobblies are still pliable and you've got grip use it.if there rock hard might be time to change. I ran the old tyres I bought the bike with until I started hitting bigger obs and found I haveas struggling for grip then shelled out for xlites. Shame I sold the bike a month after lol. New tyres again.

Age is also to take in consideration.

Last bike I found still had Michelin X1 from 1988 mounted. Geez these tires where stiff I left out all air in the rear tire and the tire still performed as I would have filled at least 1 bar. Very random grip, it got a bit better after an hour of riding around, I gave the bike to the workshop for getting new tires they will be painful to get off the rim without a machine.

As long as you don't go near any sections it will be fine.

Seriously stick to the main brands and spend a bit more money tyres really do make a big difference and just as much for a beginner as a pro.

Cheap tyres also make the suspension feel odd.
