I believe that you have legal standing in this case. The tire dealer is not permitted to install tire that don't meet the minimum requirements.
I think that you will find that the dealer will do back flips for you. Most likely you will get free tires an upgrade also. This is serious for a tire dealer.

Maybe and maybe not MM. I believe Chris bought his RV tires ( Bridgestone R250) from a certain Company :W over the internet. How could that dealer even know the GAWR of the vehicle? I understand, not really apples to apples in this case but in another case of ME.
I had the same tires shipped to me from the same Company ( no ad time here Marty :W) and had them mounted here at Les's store. Yes the manager had a little talk with me about my 7k lb axles and the tires I wanted installed. Very aware manager who I'd hire in a heartbeat.
I proceeded to show him my true axle scale weights, actually I showed him 5 different weights at different dates from CAT scales. He agreed with my assessment of falling within the R250 weight ratings for my axles. He did say that was his job, to not let folks install the wrong tires.
Again I'd hire the guy in a heartbeat but I'm sure he ain't leaving the PNW for So Cali :B
Your right though, dealer should have known better IMO.
