Tire brands and life expectancy for 5,000 pound TT?

Yesterday, I saw the date codes on my lady's TT tires. 8 years old... Does the normal 5 year recommendation for car tires also apply to trailer tires? And if so, what are the good and bad brands...

5 years is the average. I just ordered my 3rd set of Carlisle tires. The first 2 were Carlisle RH. This set is the HD`s. I haven`t had 1 failure. Each set had approx. 8k miles and were 5 years old. towed in extreme conditions, 90+ degrees, 70-75 mph. The first set I found a shifted belt. So I guess there was a failure, but it didn't affect me. the current set I don't see anything.
