DURING A TRIP ON AN IMPROVED HIGHWAY, THE FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO KEEP AHOLD OF AT 50 MPH. AT THIS TIME THE TRUCK HAD 17596 MILES ON IT. WHEN WE RETURNED HOME I CALLED MY DODGE DEALER, LANDERS MCLARTY TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN OF THE TRUCK PERFORMANCE. SUBSEQUENTLY I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN FOR AN INSPECTION AND RESOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM. THE REPORT WAS THAT THE TIRES WERE CUPPED AND I NEEDED NEW TIRES. I FELT THAT THIS SHOULD BE TREATED AS DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND THAT THEY SHOULD COVER THE COST. THE TIRES ARE NEXON TIRES FROM S. KOREA. AT 17596 MILES THEY SHOULD NOT FAIL THAT SOON. I WAS TOLD BY THE GM THAT THEY HAVE TROUBLE WITH TIRES ON 'THIS KIND OF TRUCK AND THAT I GOT GOOD USAGE AT 1759 MILES. AM TAKING THE THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT TRUCK CENTER TO HAVE AN INSPECTION AND REMEDIATION F TIRES IF NEEDED. HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT 17596 MILES IS TOO SOON FOR TIRES TO FAIL. DODGE RAM DEALER, LANDERS MCLARTY REFUSES TO HONOR MY 10 YEAR WARRANTY DUE TO TIRE PROBLEM.

PASENGER'S SIDE, FRONT TIRE (ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT NEXEN ROADIAN HTX) SEPARATED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. SEPARATION CAUSED EXTREME VIBRATION AND INSTABILITY. CAUSED TRUCK TO BECOME UNDRIVABLE.

BEFORE I HAD 7500 MILES ON VEHICLE I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH STEER TIRES DUE TO SEPARATION THAT WAS DETERMINED TO BE DEFECTIVE TIRES, SINCE THE I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 3 ADDITIONAL TIRES FOR SAME DEFECT, COMPLETE SEPARATION OF BUILD MATERIAL THAT HAS CAUSED EXTREME BOUNCE AND VIBRATION RESULTING IN 5 TIRES BEING REPLACED DUE TO DEFECTS, RETAILER THAT HAS HANDLED THE LAST 3 STATED THIS IS VERY COMMON TO THE RAM TRUCKS WITH THESE NEXEN BRAND TIRES

2015 DODGE RAM 3500 DUALLY WITH 28,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED 3 OF THE 6 TIRES DUE TO TIRE TREAD SEPARATION. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE, BUT HAVE NEVER OWNED THIS BRAND OF TIRES EITHER. THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME ON THE TRUCK TO BEGIN WITH. VERY POOR TIRE!

THE FRONT TIRES WEAR EXCESSIVELY ON THE OUTER EDGES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO FLETCHER DODGE 3 TIMES TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THEY HAVE SEEN BEFORE WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE. FLETCHER DODGE DID REPLACE THE 2 FRONT TIRES AND PERFORMED AN ALLIGNMENT. CHRYSLER SET UP A STAR ACCOUNT AND WORKED ON IT. CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGED THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, AND IT IS CAUSED BE TOWING HEAVY LOADS. I DRIVE IT MOSTLY AND FROM WORK. I USE A 2 HORSE TRAILER ABOUT 4 TIMES A YEAR FOR APROXIMATELY 340 MILES AND HAY 3 TIMES A YEAR FOR APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES.
