When to replace tires on trailer?

I have been told to replace your trailer tires from every 6 years to up to 10 years. My tires have a 08 stamped on them, so I know their time is close. They have none of the small cracks like my old tires got and very low mileage (under 3000 due to medical). Is their a magic number?
Tire size is ST225/75R15 load range E. Trailer weight is around 9000lbs.
Thank for any help.

I had my first tire problem in my 2nd year and < 1,000 miles towed. Replaced the other 3 the 3rd year. Second set lasted 6 years and I =knew= I was on borrowed time. Fortunately, I caught a bad tire getting ready for a trip and very carefully inspected the others, and they were =all= getting ready to separate. I'm going into the 3rd year on my Carlisle RH and they still look pretty good. I'd much rather have Maxxis in this size, and only took these as I needed them that day and couldn't wait the 2 days for them to be ordered in.
