[T and C]

Folks,

I have had my TM for 3 weeks now. It has two Goodyear Marathon 225/75/15 tires load range "D". The trailer is an 08 3023.

The age code on one tire says 2007. As I understand it, that means that it was manufactured May of 07 or so. The other tire is blank where the code should be!

When I bought it at Custom RV, the guys said that they recommend replacement after 4 years so they only put a new spare on and left the old tires. The spare is something I have never heard of before.

After reading all the horror stories on this forum, especially the damage to the plumbing that can happen, I decided to replace the tires with new Marathons, steel valve stems, ect. So... I hikes me down to Walmart this afternoon to see what they have in stock. While there I asked where one would park the trailer.

"Oh, you take the tires off at home and bring them in!"

I once had a tent trailer, and I just towed it to the dealer for tires. The employees did everything else. I this what they do at all tire stores?? Or it this just an unfriendly one?

I would value your experience if you don't mind.
