Tire life expectancy
We have a 2007 Winnebago Journey with original Michelin RV extended life rubber tires. Our RV is stored in an enclosed barn and we keep the outside of the tires coated with armorall UV protectant tire...

Michelin recommends tire inspection every year after 5 year of age. Inspection involves removing tire from the rim. If they pass inspection from 5 to 10 years Michelin recommends replace when they are 10 years old.
Note, "tread life remaining" means nothing.
My tires were late 2004. I replaced all 6 Michelins in late Dec. 2012. They had 24,000 miles on them.
The problem with trying to eek out a few more years is that collateral damage caused by a tire failure may cost much more that 6 new tires.
If I were you, from what you stated, I would consider replacing them in 2014.
