Just trashing them seems like throwing away good money on reselling the old ones.

That's what I did- I sold the 4 Trailer King tires (3 years old) to a guy who wanted them for his boat trailer. He traveled 2 hours to pick them up and handed me $100. DONE. He was happy to get them and just uses the trailer 2x per year.
I did pay about $100 each for the 4 new Goodyear Endurance tires but I mount and balance my own tires so no additional costs.
By the way there were no balance weights on the trailer wheels when I took the TK tires off, so they weren't balanced at all.
