After 5 years, no tire manufacturer will accept any responsibility for damage.
You have spent a lot of money getting into RVing.
Tires ARE a maintainence item. Don't cheap out on them. If you do, it may end up costing far more than a set of tires.

In my experience Good Year tire Co. has paid for damage to my trailer as the result of a bad Good Year tire. Good Year replaced the bad tire at no charge and then paid $1100 for damage to the side of my trailer. I did have to take the bad tire into a Good Year dealer who then mailed the bad tire back to the GY company at no charge to me. Still running the Good year LT "G"rated tires on my 5th. wheel:):)
Also, you have LT tires. They are recognized as having a longer service life. Michelin say up to 10 years.
ST tires are what the OP has... I seriously doubt that a 5 year old ST tire will get any support from the manufacturer.
At the time I had tire problems, I had "D" rated Good Year tires on a TT. The tires were less than 2 years old. All 4 tires (Good Year Wranglers) came with my TT when I bought it new and all 4 came apart within 2 yrs. Good Year stood behind all 4 and paid for all the damge to my trailer.:)
