2000 DODGE RAM 1500 Tires Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 EQUIPPED WITH COOPER DAKOTA DEFINITY H/T TIRES, SIZE 265/75/R16, DOT NUMBER UT73PA82506. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, BOTH TIRES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BEGAN TO TEAR APART. THE CONTACT ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE TIRES. THE DEALER OF THE TIRES WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE WITH THE TIRES. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE WAS 130,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 130,500.

HAD VEHICLE INSPECTED PRIOR TO GETTING FRONT END ALIGNMENT AT TIRE DISCOUNTERS. THEY NOTICED A BULGE ON THE INSIDE SIDEWALL. KELLY TIRE LESS THAN 30 DAYS OLD. THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT THE BULGE WAS FROM SOMEONE HITTING A POT HOLE TO HARD. I THINK THAT IT IS A DEFECTIVE TIRE AND THEY JUST DID NOT WANT TO TAKE CARE OF IT. I WAS TOLD THAT ALL THE TIRE THAT WERE PURCHASED AT A GOODYEAR RETAILER WERE 2NDS WITH KNOWN DEFECTS. I CONTACTED A GOODYEAR RETAILER WHERE I LIVE AND THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THEM UNLESS I WAS THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER WITH THE RECEIPT. *TR
