Judy, the Ref# is IN344983.
There were four Kumho KR21 tires (size 215/75-15) purchased on 1/19/11 at the Sears store in Bloomington, IL. They were installed on my 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport when the car had 113,384 miles on it. It has just over 117,000 miles on it today.
When we called the Oakbrook Sears store on Friday, April 8, 2011, 'Jennifer' said she 'never heard' of any factory road hazard warranty on Kumho tires.
We brought the tire into the Oakbrook store around 5:30pm last Friday, and the man we spoke to also said he'd 'never heard' of the Kumho warranty, even though I printed out a copy to give him. He kept asking me why we didn't buy the Sears road hazard warranty. He said 'Jennifer' would call me on Saturday, but that call never came.
To the best of my knowledge, it will take 3-5 days to get a replacement tire to the Oakbrook store, but that's only after someone there agrees to order it. So far, no one is willing to place an order for a replacement tire.
I contacted Kumho's CA offices on Friday to find out why Sears isn't aware of the warranty on the Kumho tires they sell, and to ask for the name of another retailer who is willing to honor the factory road hazard warranty.
One last thought - I found out about the factory road hazard warranty from a Sears representative during a 'chat' session I initiated from a Web page displaying these tires.
