Usually tire degradation is caused by the Sun's UV. If the car has been stored inside and, like you already mentioned, they show no signs of degradation, you should be fine. But really, it depends on your comfort level and driving. I wouldn't go on the highway with them. When you start seeing hairline cracks on the sidewalls, then you're seriously risking a blowout.

Edit: I just noticed you're in FL. Maybe you should get them changed. Sea air and heat also contribute to degradation.
