Rushmore Tires

[Ruck]

Is anyone aware of the type and brand tires on the 2011 Rushmore. I'm dealing w/ a salesman in N.J., I am in SC and I don't seem to be able to get it across to him that I want detailed info inre the tires on the 5er before I'll buy. Thanks.

If he can't get you something as simple as your request, I would shop someplace else and I would tell him that. Imagine what he'll be like if your questions more complex.

I don't think they can tell you what kind of tires will come on your unit only because they don't know..the wholesaler who sells to them ships whatever he can get as long as it's a "E" rated tire and the size is correct, he has a certain dollar figure to work with and as long a size, ply, and it's an ST tire the name on the side means nothing, if you look at the cruisers they come with alot of different brands but the ply and size is all that counts...we are looking for a new unit and the only unit that I have found in our price range that will tell you what kind of tires your going to get is the mobile suite, If I were you and you want the unit let them ship it with whatever they put on it, then have the dealer switch it over to whatever brand you want...I have never seen a mid level unit shipped with a major branded tire...have the dealer change them...

Thanks, makes sense. The Rushmore I have in mind has 'Mastertracks' by Cooper Tire. Is good, made in the USA !!!

BAD NEWS - GOOD NEWS

Badnews; Brought motorhome, home, yesterday. Backed over water main,better half ground guiding, we use radios, think we'll go to smoke signals. Spent good part of the day without water fixing the broken pvc pipes, not happy. Whole schedule screwed up. Fixed broken pipes, no water pressure. Call water company Monday, will probably cost a fortune.

Good news; Leaving Monday morning at zero dark-thirty, driving motorhome to New Jersey from Myrtle Beach with bro-in-law following in F450 to pick up..., you ready?

New 2011 Rushmore 35RL. Will be fulltiming within the year!!! Pics to follow ....

Congrats, glad to hear the dealer was able to understand your very basic question and get you an answer.

well My husband was not satified with the rating of the Mastertracks. The maximum load !!! Before gross weight, so we ordered and changed the tires within one week to GoodYear. Has F rating. It made him feel more comfortable. We had Goodyear on our 2007 Designer 38qs. and still looked brand new. Now we have Rushmore.... kinda regret
