I would not let some tires get in the way of buying the camper if you like it. I would not go to a auto tire. They are not built with a stiff sidewall so the trailer is mushy behind the TV. Every one tells you not to use auto tires on a trailer from DOT to the tire manufactures, so there must be something to it

I would add to what ever deal I made 4 new tires. If I did not think they could get the tires that day. I would buy 4 tires at my local tire shop with the understanding that I could return them if I did not buy the camper and take them with me and have them installed there.

FYI: 7 years is getting old. DOT set the ground work after FORD had all the tire issues, that liability go to a tire shop, if they install 10 year old tires. I had a friend that had a brand new 10 year old tire and could not find a tire shop that would mount it.
