Class A Tires

Hi folks I wanted to pose this question.

Our new to us Winnebago came with tires date stamped 08/11.

What is the consensus for replacement age? Next season will be 6 years old, but I see no sidewall cracks FWIW.

Thanks.

Normally you'd be good to go for awhile, but then again, do you know their history?
I thought good at 5 yrs with a recent purchase. Wrong and blew one shortly after, on an extended trip. Should have known that this thing had mostly been sitting, with the jacks up and with no covers on the tires.
The good news was, that with all the damage, my insurance company paid me over $8K and I was able to fix it all myself.
Tip....and with any blowout, you never hit anything, as it's always better to have the body damage covered under comprehensive, rather than collision.
