Finnegan,

Do you have any advice concerning how to KNOW the condition and age of any used tires available?

My opinion it is not a terribly good idea to put used tires of any kind on any boat trailer. It's virtually impossible to determine the provenance of used tires.

The potential cost of the damage to ones boat , trailer, and tow vehicle does not argue in favor of the use of used tires. it's a crap shoot and I don't recommend shooting craps with the safety of your property on the road.
