The tires that are being recalled are at least 15 to 20 years old. i would not mount them on my old utility trailer to take on the road.

The recall was about 20 years too late for some folks.

I have a different perspective.
Goodyear knew they had tread loss issues with the G159 tires used on motor homes and regional service trucks early on. We saw that even on this website/other rv forums and commercial truck type forums.
They ignored the problem or fix the G159 issues instead they stopped production.
Big money...big business at work... has much to do with stopping/delaying any gov agency to order a mfg to recall their unsafe product.

Anybody who is still running on one of the listed tires has worse problems than a recall!!
Also I have to agree that 22.5s are rare on fivers.
