If the bike was stored indoors and the tires not exposed to sun rays or an ozone source, and if they were periodically driven on, they may be still good. Look for cracking and discoloration.
What's the manufacturing date on them? Last 4 digits of the DOT code.
What brand and model?
Don't ever buy used tires. Unless you really know what to look for. Even if you do, there could be a pinhole somewhere that won't be detected until the tire is inflated.
Recently, I have been finding that Adrian (Ace Mototech in Milton) has the best prices for rubber. Not sure what his install rate is though as I install tires myself.
