2. Going to upgrade tires given everything I read. Will get Salian tires and will ask the dealer to do that? Not sure if he does that but safety is key for my wife and I.
Thoughts?

Thank you.
Let me preface this by saying I am still running drum brakes on my 5'er. To compensate for the drum brakes I somewhat alter my driving habits.
Your dealer is more interested in selling the unit than stopping it. His recommendation may be one of the dumbest claims I have heard a salesperson make.
