Thanks for replies so far. This forum will be a great resource, I have lots to learn! Callaghan has so far been very responsive and first thing they told me I needed to join FMCA, which the current owner had told me already. Michelins are an issue due to being on a large backorder. But I'm thinking of going Continental regardless. Much less expensive and they'll hardly be worn in 6-7 years. I have date code and they are 2004 tires, makes me wonder what else may have been neglected? Any rate I will not drive any further than needed, pictures show terrible dry rot and cracking on the Michelins that are on it. Present owners is a great guy and is hiding nothing. I warming up to just waiting until Monday, and then taking my time getting back to WI by Wednesday.

Hello, new to MH's and looking for ideas. I am purchasing a new to me MH in Sarasota, flying in on a Saturday to check it out and pay the man, as long as there are no large issues. Anyway, I would love to then take the MH to a tire dealer for new tires, late on Saturday morning early afternoon, and then hit the road back to WI. The tires on it I wouldn't feel comfortable going over 50mph or more than just to a tire shop. They appear to be original tires on a 2004. Of course I've already joined FMCA, I've spoken to Callaghan tire and Lanning tire, neither can do a Saturday install. I'd likek to use FMCA discount of course. Anyone have any ideas, or do I just hang out until Monday morning and enjoy the sun? The MH can stay at the park it is at, I can get to Walmart to buy some bedding and food etc, I would just rather hit the road and head home seeing this will be an emptied out MH with none of my personal stuff in it.
