Helpful Expert Reply:
Your friends are pretty close. We suggest replacing tires every 3-6 years or every 10K-12K miles, which ever comes first.
Most trailer tires do not get replaced due to mileage and instead age. If you are using tire guards to protect the tires from UV rays while being stored or storing the tire in a garage it will take a bit longer for dry rot to affect the tire. As soon as you start seeing dry rot you should go ahead and plan on replacing the tire.
On the other hand if you do not cover the tires and have them constantly exposed to UV rays, you are likely in need of replacements due to them being 4 years old now.
If you can send me the tire size your trailer uses I would be happy to recommend replacements for you if needed.
