Like I said before: The deciding factor should be how cheap you are willing to risk with your bike and how much performance you expect to get out of these tires that you are using. Only OP can answer for himself.

How old are you? How long have you been riding?
Riding on any old tire might be fine for you, but it's not a way to survive for any length of time on a cycle. Being lax or careless can have quite a large penalty.
The "
deciding factor" is what? Really? It should be what gives you the biggest advantage in a surprise or emergency situation and largest margin of safety. Avoiding a crash by doing proper maintenance and having top-notch equipment (tires) is a priority in my mind.
But that's just my opinion.
