Congratulations on your "new" fiver. Being a 2013 model makes the tires at least 4 years old and the trailer hasn't been towed anywhere. Along with the fact they are probably Chinese cheapo tires, I STRONGLY recommend replacing them prior to hitting the road. Check out Maxxis M8008 ST tires as they are a proven high quality trailer tire. While they're changing tires out, you might have the wheel bearings repacked with new seals.
Best of luck and I hope you enjoy years of fun with your new fiver.
Funny you mention this as I just put new Maxxis 8008's on my TT less than a year ago that are the same size and rating as the 5er tires they will get exchanged to the 5er this week. I will also check bearings and seals at that time.The TT will be getting parked for my son to live in for a while and will not be on the road.
