In my opinion it is always necessary to replace the tires on any used coach, regardless of how old they are. You have no way of telling the abuse the tires received from the previous owner due to pot holes, curbs, under-inflation, and so on. Better safe than sorry and just figure the cost of new tires in your offer.
X-2, this is a very good policy to follow!
You guys must own tire shops. By that logic, we should also replace the motor because who knows how much the previous owner abused it. Imagine the look on a seller's face when you say 'Yeah, I need you to knock $20k off the price so I can replace the engine'.
And the mattress because, eww, someone else slept on that. Toilet seat as well.
WOW, you really don't know how to read do you? Don't post about things I never mentioned. First off I said it was my OPINION and I stick by it. If the tires look decent, I am sure that you can also get a credit from the tire shops. I know I always get a credit for my old tires when I buy new ones.
If YOU like to drive on tires with an unknown history, with your family, go for it. We all have our own safety standards when it comes to our loved ones. Mine just happens to be very high.
