Couple things to look for:
Deep blue/purple shine to the tire, this is the natural properties of the tire coming to the surface due to heat cycling and age.

More wear on one side vs. the other, tires used on a track that was mainly lefts will wear out the left side more than the right, go to the same track(s) with mostly left turns and the left side of the tire is just going take a beating. Some people will flip the tire around, but it's something I don't do.
