For the tires purchased from Sears that are failing, are these Michelins sold by
Sears or another brand? I still need to get correct tires for my '87 camper with
alloys, and haven't decided what to buy yet (not that I have a great selection!).

Sears sells Michelin LTX tires "rebranded" as LTX XC-4. Wondering if these are
the ones having problems.
