Akurets are no worse than other Chinese made tires, as a matter of fact complaints are not all that common, most of Akurets manufacturing facilities are brand new, state of the art.
If you search on some of the other RV.Net, Trailer Life, Motorhome Magazine websites you'll see issues are not rampant at all.
China and most other Nations have joined "The International Organization for Standardization" (ISO) known as ISO, is an international standard-setting body composed of representatives from various national standards organizations.
It seems that the Chinese Government had cracked the whip and started regulating Tire Factories and holding them acountable for poor quality control. Often that means that the top managers have been excecuted or exiled! That said,there have been less issues with tires last few years so maybe it's working!
There was a article about South Korea revamping and stepping up quality standards in their tire manufacturers too due to a flurry of poorly made tires making it into North American markets. Maybe "China Exploder" tires are going away at long last!
