TEXT: I have several of my dealers that are wanting to buy their trailers from me without tires or without tires and wheels.

I am reasonably sure that they do not have fourteen (14) customers at a time wanting to put their own tires and wheels on their trailers. I do believe that they will be installing used tires or used tires and wheels on these trailers once they got them to their places of business. Since I know this is against the law can I legally sale the trailers to my dealers like this and if so, do I need them to sign some kind of waiver or a form stating they bought the trailers from me without tires or wheels?
