Yes, The owner was kind enough to have the wheel bearing serviced and the brakes checked. They just missed the bubble on the tread?

No just the two. I figured the spare has never been used and has been under the cover so I figured it would be OK to get me where I could get the main tire repaired. Ouch

Replaced the originals with Carlisle's and jumped up to a Load Range D.

If it was a green one, then it was manufactured in 2016. That would imply the tires were at least 4 years old, and possibly 5, depending on the luck of the draw.]]> Wed, 22 Jul 2020 11:06:00 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13809&PID=134126#134126 New 2017 R-Pod 171 : Welcome.If the previous owner... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13809&PID=134122#134122 Author: offgrid

Welcome.

If the previous owner didn't maintain things it might be a good idea to also do a brake inspection/bearing repack before any long trip.

Congratulations and welcome! I hope you have many fun adventures and make many great memories with your RP171. That was a really smart move to replace the tires.]]> Wed, 22 Jul 2020 10:33:21 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13809&PID=134120#134120 New 2017 R-Pod 171 : All three? http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13809&PID=134115#134115 Author: podwerkz

Purchased a 2017 171 and brought it home (3 hour drive) to Charleston, SC. The owner said they were the original tires. Just replaced them and one of the tires had a big bubble on the tread.

Disaster avoided.
