tires out of round because of bent wheels

I had new tires put on my motorhome about 4 months ago, noticed a bad bouncing on front tires, took it back to dealer, was told I had 5 bent wheels on the unit, and now must buy new wheels and tires, as the tires are out of round because of the bent wheels. Could this be true, and why was I not told of the bent wheels when they put the new tires on.

You need to find a new dealer, he's taking advantage of you. Take your motorhome to a different facility for a second opinion. I would also report that dealer to your state's attorney general.

Is he also trying to sell you some "ocean front" property in Denver?:h

Could he be trying to cover a shortfall of revenue? Hard to swallow that FIVE rims are all bent. Was the unit in a high speed chase in San Francisco, ala Steven McQueen?

Maybe the weights used to balance the tires (you did have them balanced, right) came off.
