The contact owns a 2006 RAM 1500 equipped with Arroyo Tires, Tire Line: Tamarock A/T, Tire Size: 33X12.50/R18, DOT Number: 1TBDDP35C0924 and 1TBDDP35C0824. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel started to vibrate excessively. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that the tires needed to be balanced. The contact was later informed that the tires could not be properly balanced due to irregularities in the inner liner. The contact was advised that all four tires needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 20,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH GOODYEAR TIRES, SIZE:P225 60 R20. THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING 55 MPH WHEN THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE TIRE FAILED.

MY 2006 DODGE RAM HAS THE GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP 275/60R20 INSTALLED. MY TRUCK JUST TURNED 40K. MY TIRES ARE ALWAYS ROTATED AND PROPER TIRE INFLATION. I NOTICED RECENTLY THAT MY TRUCK STARTED VIBRATING. FIRST IT WAS MINOR THEN IT FINALLY IS TOO MUCH TO BARE. I HAD TAKEN IT IN TWICE BEFORE THINKING IT WAS A BALANCE WEIGHT ISSUE AND EACH TIME THE TIRE STORED REMOVED OR ADDED A SMALL AMOUNT OF WEIGHT. THERE WAS A BIG DIFFERENCE COMING BACK FROM A 1400 MILE ROAD TRIP RECENTLY. AT FIRST THERE WAS THE USUAL SMALL VIBRATION, BUT AT THE END OF THIS TRIP THE WHOLE TRUCK SHAKING BAD. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR THE 3RD TIME AND COME TO FIND OUT THE REAR TIRE WAS FINALLY SHOWING SIGNS OF SEPARATION. I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THIS TIRE DID NOT SEPARATE DURING MY TRIP. I PLAN ON...

PRODUCT QUALITY DEFECT- POOR PRODUCT QUALITY OF GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES RECENTLY CREATED UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND OTHER MOTORISTS. DUE TO THE RADIAL BAND SEPARATION ISSUE IN A GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP TIRE (SIZE P275/60/20) THE TIRE CREATED EXCESSIVE BOUNCING AND WOBBLING OF THE TIRE AT SPEEDS OVER 40 MPH CREATING INABILITY TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD THE TIRE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY (WITH A BRIDGESTONE TIRE) AND THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. WHEN I CONTACTED GOODYEAR QUALITY DEPT. THEY ASKED I HAVE THE TIRE INSPECTED BY A GOODYEAR DEALER, WHICH I DID, AND THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE RADIALS WHERE /COMPROMISED/BROKEN IN NUMEROUS PLACES. GOODYEAR DID OTHER A $45 REBATE ON MY NEXT GOODYEAR TIRE PURCHASE WHICH I DECLINED AS I WILL NOT PLACE MY FAMILIES SAFETY AND WELL BEING IN THEIR TRUST ANY LONGER NOR WILL I BE PURCHASING GOODYEAR TIRES. THE TIRE HAD APPROX 15000...
