NHTSA Complaint #10242006 — 2002 COUNTRY COACH INTRIGUE

I PURCHASED USED A 40' CLASS A MOTORHOME FROM DEALER IN TUSCON, AZ.. BEFORE PICKING IT UP, I INQUIRED FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER THE DATE OF THE TIRES MANUFACTURE. THE TIRES WERE 8 YEARS OLD. I ASKED THAT HE REPLACE THOSE OLD 12R22.5 TIRES WITH NEW TIRES AT MY EXPENSE. WHEN I PICKED UP THE COACH IN TUSCON FROM THE DEALER, I NOTICED THAT THE TIRES INSTALLED WERE 11R22.5. I QUESTIONED THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THE SIZE AND HE TOLD ME THAT MICHELIN DID NOT MANUFACTURE A 12R22.5 TIRE ANY MORE AND THAT THE 11R22.5 ARE THE SAME WEIGHT RATING(WRONG). I BOUGHT THAT STORY. SINCE THEN I HAD THE TIRES CHECKED BY A TIRE COMPANY IN MY AREA AND WAS INFORMED THOSE 11R22.5 TIRES WERE INADEQUATE AND SHOULD BE CHANGED TO THE CORRECT SIZE FOR MY MOTORHOME. I JUST FINISHED A PHONE CALL TO MICHELIN TIRE(THE NEW TIRES ON MY MH) AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE ASAP THE SMALLER SIZE TIRE FOR THE CORRECT SIZE AND TIRE LOAD FOR THIS MOTORHOME. MY QUESTION IS WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE TO GET THESE REPLACED BY THE DEALER/ SERVICE CENTER THAT I BOUGHT THE MOTORHOME FROM? ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. SINCERELY, MIKE BLURTON ALOHA. *TR
