I was in a worse situation last year.
Our last long trip was in 2015 and then the rig saw little use while I was building our house and then Covid hit. Tires were way aged out and I knew it but decided not to replace until I was sure we would use the coach. So finally May 2021 I sourced some tires and went and had them installed. My butt cheeks were clinched the whole drive there.
My tires looked good, minimal if any side wall cracking. As they pulled the tires off I inspected inside and out of each one of them. They all looked good, no signs of any problems. (I do have some experience doing this after working in mining for +35 years and inspecting tires with vendors for warranty claims etc). I asked the tire shop if they'd give me any $$$ for the tires>>>"NO" but my guess is the tire shop probably sold the tires to a trucking company.
But I got a new set of tires and I put a new TPMS on so I will know that the tires are inflated correctly before we ever pull out to drive.
So as to the OP's question, it's his choice on what to do depending on his level of risk.
