What is your take on used tires?

Oldmangunner- yeah I'd say your tire has at least begun to dry rot. The sidewall is the thinnest part of the tire and subjected to the most flexing, so I'd say get it at least looked at. You're probably due for a replacement before long.

I would have no problem with a set of good used tires.
Why not? They are probably off a wrecked vehicle and would have lasted for the life of the tire on the other vehicle, why would they not be perfectly fine on your trailer?
If the tire is in good working order and not damaged then they will be fine.
I have run used tires on my freight trucks when new replacement was not imediately available. I refused to put a recap on my truck for any reason....ever!!
