If you live in a cooler climate, less sun farther north, etc., that tire probably will be good for quite a bit longer than 10 yrs. With inspection of course.
I am using truck tires here on the farm that are over 20 years old, looking good. Local use, not a lot of miles. Takes FOREVER to wear them out. Still look good.
These large, truck tires are very well built. Much more so than the cheap, China bomb trailer tires that get talked about.
We have an old pup trailer at work that still uses lock-ring wheels and the old 10.00-20 tube tires. It runs off-brand tires ("Union" and "New Pride") with dates from 1997 and 1999...it has run these tires for years and comes in loaded to the roof & heavy at least twice a week! They have some scuffing (especially the right outside dual), but aren't cracking and look fine.
