"Over the years, we’ve had very, very few tire problems but when we do, our suppliers are quick to react and stand behind their products 100%."
Guess they never have stopped by here to read about all the TowMax tire failures "over to years"! Sounds like another new round of marketing similar to Carlisle's.

Don't know where you saw a 5 year warranty on tires from Prime Time...
I've been selling them for the 5 years they have been in business, and there is no such warranty.
If they were, it should be front and center on their website, since no one else does anything like a tire warranty after the first year. All tire warranties are through the tire companies, not the RV manufacturers.

Or better yet say he will not buy an unsafe RV so either the dealer changes to LR-E or he will find a dealer that doesn't just sell "bling"
If dealer claims the tires are OK then ask for a 3 year tire warranty in writing from the dealer. If he won't put that in writing then obviously he doesn't believe the application is really safe.

Tireman9, isn't the placard suppose to list the OEM tires correctly. If I saw LRD on the placard would it have OEM LRE tires installed?

- I looked at one on the lot today, and it definitely has E range tires on it...

I have a new Reflection 303RLS from Grand Design. The tires that came on mine are E rated, sidewall states max pressure 80PSI, Max Load at 80PSi 2830, Not 2540 as stated by OP. Don't think they put wrong tires on trailer, but just in case, I would take a second look at them. I have looked at mine so many times, someone would think I have a love affair with them.

I will look at it again next week when at the RV resort. Does your Placard list LRE tires. I am pretty sure this placard said "D"!
