Could 10 year tires really be safe?

Hi all. We have a MH with tires that are original. Manufactured in 2005 (the tires). We have taken it to get new tires now twice at the local truck/tire center and while I'm sure they would have loved to sell us tires, they keep inspecting them and telling us that they look great. The RV is stored indoors, level and is only used a couple of times per year. So, no sun/ozone on them nor extreme temps. We don't see any cracks or bulges in the sidewalls but since we are taking it to Florida in a month, I don't want to be completely stupid. Could they be ok? Thanks.

I can only say that some of the top tire manufactures say that their tires are good to go for a max of 10yrs, with a professional inspection, but after that, they're to be replaced regardless of condition.
You might want to look into a set of Hankooks for a top tire brand at a reasonable price, but even the most reasonably priced tire available, should serve you well and have no complaints with the 4 Hercules that I've been running on the drive axles for quite a few miles. I mean if it has a DOT number on one of the sidewalls, then it's been approved for safe use on American highways and you're not about to wear any of them out, anyway.
