Seems a shame to get rid of tires with no wear on them, maybe 10,000 total miles, but then I'm gonna have to get rid of them in 2 years anyway. Have to call my tire dealer and see what is what. Thanks for the input.

At 3 years, they should be fine for at least a couple more years...even if they were sitting (long gone are the days when they rubber would develop a permanent flat spot).
Trailer tires rarely wear out from miles. It's usually years that tell you when it's time to replace and it's usually around 5-7yrs you can expect to get out of them.
One other possibility, any chance the trailer was over weight? You could always swing by a CAT scale and see what you really have. That would also be useful in selecting which load range you want.
