TIRES
02/26/200842161
 I purchased a new gulfstream bt cruiser on 2/26/08 - a 2006 model. when i had extended valve put on my rear dual tires i was told by the service department that the inside tires were sun checked damaged and needed to be replaced. all of the out side tires are new - so the dealer took the outside rear dual tires and placed them on the inside where they could not been seen. the dealer is jc's rv in livermore, ca. i feel that what they have done in unethical business practices and fraud, besides the fact that they have placed my life in danger with the possibility of a blowout from damaged tires that i assumed were new like the other 4 tires. i do not want to deal with the dealership since i cannot trust them. i am in the process of working with the manufacturer gulf stream to get the tires replaced with no charge to me. this seems to be a lenghty process and in the mean time i am afraid to drive the motorhome for fear of a blowout. my gulfstream member number is #53-3678. melissa ellingson. *tr
