Seller states that wheels have already been changed to 16.0" rims.
My only concern is the AGE of the tires that are on the coach.

If you are going to buy a new set of tires (stock is 16.5")
it may be a good time to consider an upgrade to the more
modern 16" wheel and tire.

If you don't have them already the Alcoa's really
are a nice improvement in lower weight
and better looks.

For your drive home; check your brakes and take your time.
