Tires Kumho or Sailun

Sailun Tires

They were both originally Sailun Inspire 215/55R17 touring all-season. They replace with with a Sailun Inspire 215/55R17 XL. The XL has a different load weight and a different PSI. From my research online, this could be caused by the tire speeds not being the same and the tires being mismatched. Does this seem possible to you? I could call the tire place and ask if they'd honor a replacement because they put a non-matching, non-compatible tire on the car... It's essentially new as I've only driven maybe 500 miles max on that tire.

Pros: different load weight, different PSI
Cons: non-matching, non-compatible tire
Vehicle: Ford Fusion
Mileage: 500 km

Sailun Tires

I have a car that only gets used 3x a month at the most. Sailun Atrezzo Elite! Took it to La Union during a heavy downpour and it was also fine. Came from Arivos but the sidewall is too soft imo

Pros: fine during heavy downpour
Cons: sidewall is too soft

Tires (Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum) were installed 6/25/2024 @ 151,xxx miles (with receipts). Manufactured date is May 2023. Currently, car has 165,xxx miles. As you can see, the two front (now rotated to rear) tires are bald! The other two tires have a normal amount of tread remaining however. I was running about 1° of camber front and rear, and explains why the inside is more worn, but doesn't explain the overall accelerated wear that occurred only on the fronts. I also have an alignment report showing only the front left Toe is out of spec (-0.39° measured vs. +/-0.08 spec).

In my opinion, this would fall under the warranty via excessive/premature tire wear, but of course I imagine any shop would fuss about the lack of rotation. To make matters worse, I purchased and installed these tires at Walmart, which I'm now learning isn't an authorized Kumho installer and Kumho's warranty form says they must be installed by an authorized installer. However, Walmart's own listing for the tires says it's covered by a 50k mile tread life warranty (see last photo).

Cons: premature wear, bald tires
Mileage: 14000 km
