New tires or not

I am thinking about putting my MH up for sale. It needs a new set of tires. Should I go ahead and put the new tires on it or sell as is and let the new owner pick the tires they want. I was thinking they might have a brand preference. If you were buying would you rather have it ready to go or pick the tires you like. I would adjust the price accordingly.
Class A

    Hankooks are not that cheap neither.
    This is sociological thing.
    The truth is that for average buyer set of cheap tires, but new will be good eye catcher.
    99% buyers go for what looks good and shines, not for what is reliable and long lasting.
    You are not saying what selling price you have in mind and how much new tires will cost.?

    If I replace the tires it will probably be Hankooks.

    If the buyer is new to a Class A, he might appreciate the new tires as it is one less thing he'll have to deal with. To a seasoned owner, it probably won't matter - let him choose the tires. One person considers Michelins a waste of money and for the next person they're the only tire they'd own.
