Dual tires

[twinboat]

Would you do this ?

I just bought it but missed seeing it until at a campground. I argued with them to change them and won !

Looks like that tire came off the front and the dealer rotated it to the outer dual.
Poor dummy did not have the sense to put it on the inside or even turn it inside out, so you would not see.
I would keep an eye on the new fronts. You might need an alignment soon, if it wears like this picture.
You know that you have 2 different style tires on the duals. Are they the same size? One looks to be a "traction" tire and the outer looks to be a "steer" tire. Got date codes on all the tires?

My thinking is the fronts were shot so they took two rears off and moved them to the front and then had some M&S tires sitting around that they hid in the back.

They are taking the different load range mud & snow inner tires off and putting the fronts on the rear. Then 2 new fronts that I'll keep an eye on for bad alignment.

I'll be stationary for 3 months but will head to Jolsons in Orlando for an alignment before I head north.

Great catch.. I agree with you.. and no telling where they got the inside tires.. hopefully you will watch them closely when they fix it..
Good luck and keep us posted

FYI, it is Josam Alignment. Maybe "spellchecker" got you, just like it does me.

I guessed at the name, I was there in 2018 getting my E450 aligned.

Google maps would have figured it out.

An interesting combo. Looks like a mud tire along with a POS Goodyear. The Goodyear is wearing just like the ones I had on my front end years ago. The wear pattern will not get better on the rear so get some good tires on the rear, aka matched tires.

What was it you bought - an entire used RV? In any case, they foisted a collection of crappy old tires on you and hoped you wouldn't complain. But you did, and they knew they got caught so agreed to do better. But now you know what sort of tricks they pull, so watch carefully.

Just my Observations...
If those duels are different diameters/circumferences to each other...., You will be overloading one and the other is just loafing along.. I strongly encourage You to hit up a good truck tire retailer and replace all 4 rear tires with diameter/circumference matched sets, at a minimum, but replace all 6 tires if you are able....

With 17,000 miles and 1 year old, I'm not replacing all 6 tires. I'll have 2 new front and 4 matching rears.

I'll get a few more years out of the rear tires.

twinboat you need to have the front end lined up if you wait till new tires start to wear uneven a line up won't stop the uneven wear
