When do Trailer Tires Typically Need to Get Replaced

Question:

How many miles are these tires rated for? I have these tires on my trailer, they are 5 years old, and Ive put over 22,000 miles on them. The tires still look as good as new, just concerned what they are rated for. Thanks.

Trailer tires actually don't typically wear out before they need to get replaced. Typically they get too old and that's when it's time to replace them. Most trailer tires get 4-6 years of life from date of manufacturer before they start dry-rotting and becoming unsafe. Your situation where the tires have plenty of miles and tread left on them is not unusual at all.
