Since its a 1999 trailer, the tires are possibly from 1998. My opinion is that they don't owe you a thing. Apparently you don't put many miles on the rig or something, but I don't think I would sell them as someone suggested. A local tire store used to have a rack of old tires out front years ago. The manager told me that it was not worth the liability involved in selling them.

1999? I would bet it has 6k axles, therefore he has lots of good choices.

Hmmm..... now that throws a different shadow on the picture.
Eight lug wheels and a big 37' heavy trailer may mean 7000 lb axles..... and your Goodyear LT235/85-16 tires on your trailer may be the Goodyear G614 tires at 3750 lb capacity.
If thats the case non of the LT E at 3042 lbs tires that were mentioned will have enough capacity.
The devil is always in the details so its pertinent we know the exact tires size and load range and the trailers axle rating along with the trailers GVWR. These are things the tire dealer will need to know for proper/safe fitment.
Anyhow....Its time to sell the old tire on craigslist and mount some new ones.
Also lots of folks have gone with the Sailun S637 LT235/85-16 G at 3750 lb capacity commercial grade all steel ply carcass.
These tires are much preferred on work truck/trailer forums over the Goodyear G614 tire.

If you are nervous about running them on the trailer after 7 years of use, you can still sell them for truck use.
7 year? They are 16 years old.
