On Monday Sept. 7, 2015 we were in route to Des Moines, IA traveling on I-15 N in our 2005 Itasca 40' diesel pusher motor home. We stopped for fuel in Beaver, UT and while I was fueling an employ of Gober's Service came by on a golf cart and mentioned my left front tire appeared to be low on air and suggested I go around to Gober's lot which was directly west of the fuel pumps so my tires could be checked.
Once I pulled into Gober's lot another employ inspected all tires and told my wife and I that our tires were unsafe to drive on due to tread seperation and tire ages (especially going as far as Des Moines, IA). (Our tires only has 22,650+/- miles on them at this time and looked new). He told us stories of other RVers that had tire failures; treads come loose etc and do thousands of dollars in damages to motor home components and saftey issues;he basically scared us into purchasing 6-new Michelin 275/80R 22.5 for the total sum of $5,454.12. He told us he was giviing us a deal by not charging any labor or for bean bags in each wheel used to balance tires.
I believe we were mis-led and ripped off by Gober's Service and hope something can be done with businesses that take advantage of out of state travelers etc.
