Unfortunately they could not do anything about the axle being bent, but the tires on the RV were from the factory so they were probably not the greatest tires anyway.
The ones I replaced with were steel belted radials.
Im happy nothing bad happened, but upon just looking at the RV there is no way I would have caught that.
