1999 Dodge Ram tires complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Consumer had found out about lumps on tires after being replaced from the first time after a tire had a blowout. P245/75r16, dot wrlapcvsb, dodge, ram 1999.
Tires, though we haven't experienced a blow out or treads peeling off, the tires are wearing much quicker than they should. With only 12,000 mile on the vehicle, the tires look like it's been driven 50,000 miles. Mid october we called chrsyler in auburn hills, to let them know how unsafe we feel driving this truck. We have had this truck brought back to the dealer eleven times for warranty work, eight of which were for brake problems. *ak (dot number: m32kerhx tiresize: p245/75r16)
We currently have 16,637 mile on our 1999 dodge ram van. In recent weeks we notice that the front and rear tires were worn down to the radial bar. In addition, there are several air bumps forming on all four tires. Withe recent firestone and ford problems, I took the van to merchants tire and auto where I normally do business. They informed me that the tires were shot, are a saftey concern and should be replaced. I then took the van to tire warehouse to get a second opion on the tires. Again, I was told that the tires were in very bad condition and should be replaced as soon as possible. I called the goodyear 800 number to request my rights and in what direction I should go, but I was only given the run-around and switched brom operator to operator. My concern with this tire is that on the side of the tire it states that it has a max weight of 2,293 pounds. Given that the van is a half ton, and has added after market conversion package, it is possible that the weight exceeds the limit. I asked dodge about this concern, since they sell the conversion van, and I was told that it is possible that the tires do not meet the current weight of the total van package. My question is, are there other reported incedents with this tire and vans, or with this tire in genereal. Also, do I have a legal recourse against either dodge or goodyear to pursue in order to get my tires replaced before an accident . I use the van as my primary source of transportation and I transport my teenage kids and sometimes their friends, on a daily basis. Thank you for any cooperation in this matter.

Tire valve stem pops and air comes out. Tires are michelin #ltsax lt24575 r16. Also, valve stem cracked at the beginning of the tire, allowing air to escape from tire. Consumer contacted the dealership.
While starting vehicle after it was parked for a day, consumer found the tire flat. Tried to put in air, but air was escaping through the valve stem. Currently waiting on part to be delivered so that problem can be repaired. *ak
