Default replacing tires - what all do i need to do

Hi All

I am planning to buy new Good Year Endurance tires to replace my old tires. Plan to ship tires to local tire dealer who will install them for me.

I have not yet called a local tire place, I would like to know what questions to ask or what specifically I need to tell them about since it is a camper and not a car.

Also, is there anything else should i ask them to do?

1. Balance tires (any special instructions for trailer tires vs car tires?)
2. Valve stems - should I upgrade valve stems and if so, to what & why?
-- Is this done by the dealer when they install the tires? or,
-- Is it something I have to order with the tires?


Based on prior posts, I also know the following:
1. Must raise the shells to change tires
2. Do NOT jack it up on the axle

Please give me the "for dummies" version.

Thanks all!
