whistling / bad tires

I just purchased a 2016 ACE 30.1 used with 880 miles and drove it home 550 miles. Need help locating a whistle sound coming from the front end when I get over 45 mph. Any help here on locating this or if anyone else had this problem, please help! Now about tires, this coach bounced all over the road at any speed. I called the dealer and was told the coach has been sitting for a long time and that they should smooth out. WRONG! I took it to my dealer and they put each wheel on the spinner and I was shocked to see a tire (all six) with only 1,300 miles so out of round, bulging side walls and requiring so much weight that I could not believe these were Goodyear's! The tire shop said they would contact Goodyear and see if they would replace them. Were these bad to begin with or did they really go bad sitting on for 6 mths? Thanks for any advice ,

Some of the early Hurricanes had grill issues that caused the whistle. You might check around the grill area.

Yes, sitting can make tires out of round. Good luck on getting Goodyear to do anything about it!
