I just came back from inspecting my 2008 Fleetwood Bounder 38P . It has been in storage for the last 2 months since returning from Florida . The sidewalls on all the Michelin XRV 22.5 tires are showin...

I assume they are OEM to the rig (i.e. six years old.) I don't know what it is about Michelin and down south, but more people seem to have problems with cracking with that brand.
Can't tell you what to do, that is a very personal choice. Will tell you a friend pushed his and had a blow out which caused him vehicle damage.
I have them on a 5'ver I store down south, but only have it pulled 100 miles per year. They are six years old also and are cracking. I decided to push it one more year, but didn't like it.
Some will say the older tires are made better and can take it as long as they are not cracking up in the tread area. Others would run for the hills.
