Tires

I learned to look at the date of manufacture. If older than five years from that date they should be replaced.
When buying them, if they are a year or more old, I refuse them, because then they have less than 4 safe years service available.
Trailer tires rarely look worn out, but the rubber deteriorates from the time of manufacture. They rot from the inside.
I got this info from a tire review site about 7 or 8 years ago. It's the same for truck and car tires.
