TIRE AGE OF TOW VEHICLE

I have a 2006 GMC 3500 Dually with 36,000 miles on it. It has the original tires - Goodyear Wrangler ATS, LT215-85R16, Load Range E. These tires still look really good. I cannot see any checks or cracks along the rims or on the sides. The vehicle is always stored in my garage and is only outside when we are camping in Florida for a couple of months in the winter. I also live in a northern climate so we only get hot weather during the summer months. I am planning a trip south next winter and I'm wanting to get some opinions on whether I should change the tires or not. The tires also have lots of tread left on them, but I am concerned about the age even though there is no evidence of checks or cracks. If I change them, what would you recommend for good wear and longevity? Any info you can provide would be very helpful. Thanks.
