Default new tires

This is our first trailer of any type. Bought an 04 2619 in Aug. of 03. This being the 5th season of use(probably less than 5000 total miles), I am thinking of getting new tires. When I called the local trailer shop for an appt., I was told none was needed. They would sell me Goodyears mounted on new rims, for approx. $125 each tire., and I could put them on the trailer myself. Not balanced. Or I could go to the local tire shop and have them do everything, probably for a lot more $$. My concern with that is, does a tire shop know how to jack a trailer properly? Also, the trailer shop told me to check the tires for cracking or dry rot, and if none was detected, I could probably get some more use out of them, since they had such low mileage. Not sure what my question is, just a little confused. Thanks for any input.
Enjoy camping.
Henry
