Expert Reply:
Trailer tires should be replaced about every 6 or 7 years, even if the tread is still in good shape. As tires age, they can crack and dry rot. Continuing to use the existing tires would be dangerous.
If you'd care to reply with the current size of the tires you have, I'd be happy to make a recommendation.
