If you don't know what your looking for, then I'd suggest a new tyre.  ;)

New, unless the used one is in good condition with no cracking and still lots of tread left. Also check the age of the tyre it's on the sidewall, last two digits of the DOT number tell you the year. Rubber ages over time, especially if it's not stored properly.
