From what I've seen here some see no problem and some do. I didn't haven't have much of a choice as last year it took a couple months for a tire to come in and I wanted to ride my new bike. Then I just kept riding it and have the new rear as a spare.
I did also order a new front for a spare in Feb. They must have stock now as it arrived in 4 or 5 days. After last year I didn't want to take chances on not being able to get a tire in a reasonable time with riding season coming/here.
I will say if I was going to hit the superslab for a trip, I'd have the tire swapped out, but I feel OK in town and keep an eye on it. Again, YMMV
