Replacement Tires

Hi all! Just ordered a 2018 Grand Design 337RLS. Gotta drive approx. 500 miles to drop our old one off and pick up the new one. Before I do this I want to change the tires on my Komfort 3530FBH before I trade it in. The old tires wont be able to make the trip.
What does everyone recommend?
Currently st235/80r16 load range E.
Want something decent but cost effective.
Thanks

    for a one way 500 mile trip I would suggest the cheapest ST tires in the right load range you can buy.

    Check Craigslist or your local tire dealer for a set of used tires. Check the build date, though.

    Check WalMart, they have had Carlisle for about $67.

    I assume you are trading it in. If so why not contact the accepting dealer and see if they will reimburse you for putting good rubber on.

    Lol! The tires are 7 years old needed replacement last year. Dealer is giving me a sweet trade in price so why take the chance. I ordered the Carlisle tires $77 a piece free shipping. At least I'll have piece of mind. Thanks for the info
