If you do some quick math,, they only refunded you for about one years tire time,, For me,, I just bought four new (made sure they were within six months) Maxxis tires from Les Shwab at $130 a tire.
Five years is equal to $26 a year if they warranty for the full five years.
So if they were to give you a refund for the previous two years they should have refunded $208.
But hey at least you got something! I had an issue with my last set of Maxxis only lasting four years, when I went for the warranty, it was determined (By local tire shop)that they were really closer to five years old and that I stored my trailer in a wet gravel area and they could not do anything for me!!
Now with that thrown out there,,, I went to my nearest Les Shwab store and ordered four more (i used the best two out of the previous four as spares).
Tires were all with in six months manufacture time so I was happy,, When questioned about the warranty,,, i was told that they would follow Maxxis warranty, But also that ST tires do not meet Road Hazard warranty as would a car or truck tire!! But knowing how good customer service is at Les Shwab I am not worried because they have always repaired and patched any tire I have purchased from them for free as long as I have a receipt.
Good luck with your Maxxis tires, I know I sure like mine. Not allot of choices out there for a good ST tire and NO i would not go to an LT..
