Firestone tires with only less than 16000 miles wore out which could cause a wreck if I have to drive vehicle in bad weather or rain. We noticed and even spoke to our dealer and mopar and nothing was done.

See attachment, I was under 1900 characters but system would not let me send.
80 psi it too high in the rear tires, tires do not make good contact with road causing loss of control. Needs to be fixed.

Vehicle TPMS on ram 2500's is set to 80psi for "proper inflation" on a unloaded truck is way to much. When driving durning summer months tire pressure is exceeding max tire pressure of 80psi. No way to deflate tire to more safe pressures without TPMS "light" and "warning indicator" telling you to inflate tires to 80psi. Update TPMS to be able to lower tire pressures to a more reasonable pressure before someone blows out a tire and has or causes an accident.
The tire pressure monitoring system showed a warning message. The rr tire showed -- as the tire pressure. The dealer stated that there was a recall and that all four tire sensors would need to be checked. The dealer replaced all four sensors at no charge.
