"New" 2013 Hurricane 32A
Poulsbo RV has a pair of 2013 32A's on their lot which are NEW. So this means they've been sitting there unsold for a year, maybe two. Would you folks be concerned about a unit that had sat for so lon...

The tires have sat stationary for at least 2 yrs. (relocation within lot doesn't count)
Stationary tires get flat spots, lose flexibility and dry rot due to constant exposure to elements WITHOUT any benefit of actually being used, heating/cooling, rotating at speed---which are what helps keep tires from aging prematurely.
Be they MH, trailer, car or wheel barrel tires.
...Be all that as it may, Old Biscuit, I promise you, if you asked for a new set of tires on a new 2013 Motorhome like is being described here....Your request would not only be instantly denied, it would probably be the subject of a lot of jokes and laughs by the sales team after you left. And, it'd probably make them think not very highly of you, and not willing to deal/negotiate AT ALL with you on it, on anything.
No dealership is going to throw in a $3000 set of tires in a situation like this (unless they're already asking ridiculously too much for it and you agree to such price, in which case you're paying for those new tires, anyway, haha).
Here again, we're not talking about 4 ST trailer tires that never have moved for 2 years and cost only around $100 each and have just a 4 or 5 year life (and known to blow sooner than that in many cases, but thats a whole 'nother discussion). We're talking about 6 heavy duty, large tires similar to whats used on heavy trucks, very expensive ($400-500 each), made to last 7-10 years, and most certainly HAVE moved some in last 2 years. They ain't replacing those as part of the deal, without you paying for it one way or another. :)
