how risky could it be...

to keep wearing the same tube on my front wheel that hasn't gone flat -lots of luck i guess- in 2000 km ?
Is it wise to replace regularly non-punctured tubes? Scary idea to see a front tire blow out while speeding downhill...Thanks, any experience will help

I've seen 30 year old tubes which still hold air. Worry about the tire itself making sure there are no cuts or sidewall wear or separations. The tube should be fine.
