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...

My enclosed utility trailer has "Triangle" brand tires on it. 14 years old. Tires still look brand new. No signs of cracking, rot, or anything.

Would I recommend 14 years for a travel trailer? No.

I'm just saying the brand has impressed me so far.
