You go right ahead, and I don't blame you, but if the vehicle is tall, the toll is 5$us/per axle and the axle count is determined by counting tires in a side view not by engineering standards.
So, with my rear axle being a tandem and not a dual, they want us and our less than 10K# coach to pay the same 15$us toll and a Greyhound.
That cost is just a little short of the fuel difference to drive around. So, less I absolutely have to, I never pay for that bridge.
On the Ambassador Bridge, we pay passcar toll.
I asked the bridge authority about it and they replied that it is a weight based toll. So, I guess their education says that tires is equal to weight. Interesting?

How tall is tall? Weight based toll? We crossed with our 34' fifth wheel for eight bucks or $2 an axle. Seems reasonable and worth it. Of course I don't know what the OP has.
This is the toll schedule:
Mackinac Bridge Tolls. Passenger vehicles cost $2 per axle or $4 per car. This includes passenger cars, vans, motorcycles, station wagons, SUVs, pick-up trucks, and school buses. All other vehicles, including tractor trailers, buses, motor homes and step or cube vans cost $5 per axle.
