Filed Jan 13, 2021 · Brakes, Transmission · 141,000 miles · VA

I was driving on I 90 in indiana. It was raining and the road was straight. The service ABS light came on. A short time later, I heard a noise and slowed down to 50. Then the front right tire exploded. The tire was relatively new (past july]) with lots of tread. I pulled on to the shoulder and got out to see the brake glowing red hot and smoking. I believe the noise I heard before the explosion was the cv joint disintegrating. Traffic was flying past at 70 to 80 MPH. I was in 2 wheel drive. The truck is a 4x4.

Front steer tire blowout. Driving in the city. After the blowout, I had to put on the temp spare. I noticed soft spots all over the tire. Where the blowout happened was also a soft spot. I would not be so concerned, but these tires had less than 26,000 miles on them and were what came from the factory when I purchased the truck brand new. They were made by goodyear. I went and had all 4 tires replaced due to the safety concerns for myself and my family. Looking at the tires, they are severely underrated for the ram 1500 ecodiesel.
