    @Om1234 's Topic Approved.

    Well, these pointers might help:-

    1. Observe the tyre for wear and tear closely, with reference to not only general wearing out, but cracks as small as 1mm on the grooves's edges (this mostly happens on bad roads or off roading). Something like the below image:



    2. Look for signs of contact with the wheel/rim, a used tyre will show a bit of scratches/ wearing around the rim contact area,

    3. Punctures or even air leakages are a sure sign of used tyre. A typical new tyre on a good rim (with a non leaking valve) should not need refilling more than once in a month or so.
