There was a thread on this not long ago. You will want to see if Michelin has a recommendation on these specific tires.
In general, the industry story is unmounted tires shouldn't be used after 6 years. Ten years mounted. But like I said, each tire is different and you'd have to call Michelin.
There's no problem with unmounting and mounting tires 2 or 3 times as long as they're not damaged but again, Michelin would have to tell you specifically how many times the particular tire can be cycled.
