GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Two Michigan men are suing a South Carolina manufacturer over defective tires for recreational vehicles.

Jeffrey Hunsaker of Byron Center and Dennis Drooger of Holland are suing Carlisle Tire and Wheel. Their lawyers have asked a Kalamazoo judge for class-action status to allow them to open the suit to Carlisle tire owners as far back as 1999.

In separate incidents, both men say they discovered the tire's tread had separated while towing other vehicles. Drooger and Hunsaker are seeking a recall and compensation.

Carlisle says the claims are groundless. The company has until the end of next month to respond to the plaintiffs' class action status request.
