So....you think the RV selling dealer should remove any and all tires from rigs that have been driven from the factory to his dealership and replace them with tires that have never hit the ground?
Please.
Yes, I do. Let THOR use any old tire they choose to get the rigs there to the point-of-sale.
I wouldn't pay Discount Tire for "new" rubber that has a thousand miles on it; nor would I lend such equipment to some paid-by-the-mile speed jockey.
Why should an RV be any different?
You bring up a good point. When my coach was sold as new, it had a "delayed mileage" for warranty purposes, of 3,120 miles. That is mileage that was put on my coach before it was sold for the first time. Who knows what the tires, engine, transmission, etc, went through in those 3,120 miles of travel.
