Do old tires always go bad with age not use?

I have the original tires on my 1985 Univega Gran Turismo. The bike was only ridden a half a dozen times and then hung in the garage. I’ve been told to change the tires but after removing one after a flat caused by a track the tires look fine to me no cracks on the outside or inside and they still feel supple to me. I have new ones in order but hate to waste perfectly good tires.
