Filed Mar 27, 2015 · Tires · 9,000 miles · CA

Driving my 2004 dodge ram 1500 truck; in the last six months I had two blowouts and two flat tires on tires that have less than 10,000 miles. The tires are manufactured by nitto. I contacted the corporate office and they explained that there is no recall on the tires and I should made certain there was proper tire pressure. (there was) I either repaired or replaced the tires. My concern is safety. Is there a recall on nitto tires?

Summary: goodyear wrangler hp p275/60r20 within the 50,000 miles that are on my 2004 dodge ran 1500 quad cab truck I have gone threw 2 sets of these tires they have a major early wear problem for starters. But worst of all around 25,000 miles the tread separates on the 1st set the tread didn't come all the way off the truck just bounced me into the ditch the 1st one that went was in the front and I was on the highway. When it happens in that case the truck becomes uncontrollable. After I replaced it happened to 2 more shortly after. Now I am on the 2nd set they have 25,881 miles on them yes that's it and the tread completely came off of 1 and another is about to do the same. They also have a major problem with early wear. The thing that really gets me is when I called goodyear the 1st time I was told my warranty was up after a year no ifs ands or buts about they wouldn't do anything about it. The same thing was said to me today when I called about the second set. Apparently jodi from goodyear corp. Office didn't know I was at a garage location earlier and found to have a 50,000 mile warranty. O_o_o_o_o I'm sorry mr. Wolfe that tire does have a 50,000 mile warranty. I can drive anything with a motor and anything that drives without a motor when they go on the highway trust me there is nothing you can do about it. My father also bought the same truck as me with the 20 in wheels and is having the same problem. It is just a matter of time before people start dyeing on the highways just like firestone and goodyear wont do anything for those of us who have them. God bless. Jw

While driving at 25 MPH something in the front end popped followed by the left front tire separating from the truck. When this occurred vehicle sharply pulled to the left and collided with a pole. Vehicle was towed to a towing yard, then to a body shop. The body shop or the insurance company couldn't indicate what popped and caused the tire to separate.
