I bought six Sumitomo's (old Dunlop) 245/75/22.5 last summer for my rig $2400. complete. OEM Michelin's sidewalls cracked and one zippered on me with 18,000 miles and 6 years old. Michelin was willing to rebate me 45% off retail price but I still would've paid sales tax, 8.75% in WNY, on the full amount. Plus I would've had to wait how long to see my money. With the rebate the Michelin's would of been $150 cheaper but I didn't want to reward them with my business for creating such a crappy tire to begin with. Interesting they did not recall the RV tires but from similar build years they were doing full recalls and replacement for many commercial truck sizes. Guess they didn't want to risk losing that market.
