2007 DODGE RAM 1500 Tires Problems

ON THE WAY BACK TO BUFFALO MISSOURI AT APPROXIMATELY 4:30PM ( TRAVELING 65MPH), THE RIGHT REAR TIRE STARTED TO MAKE A VERY LOUD WINDING SOUND AND SHAKE. I SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY (55MPH) AND THE TIRE BLEW OUT THE SIDEWALL, CAUSING MY TRUCK TO SEVERELY FISH TAIL IN THE MIDDLE OF A TWO LANE ROAD, NARROWLY MISSING ON-COMING TRAFFIC. ON SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2017 I TOOK MY TRUCK AND BLOWN OUT TIRE TO JBC TIRE AND AUTOMOTIVE (AUTHORIZED DEALER OF COOPER TIRES). JOSH MOUTREY WAS THE MANAGER ON DUTY. I INFORMED OF THE BLOW OUT. JOSH AND HIS MECHANIC CHECKED THE TIRE OF ANY FOREIGN DEBRIS, NAILS OR CUTS IN THE TIRE. AFTER THE INSPECTION ON THE BLOW OUT AND THE OTHER TIRES, JOSH STATED THAT THE TREAD ON THE THREE REMAINING TIRES HAD EXCESSIVE WEAR (LF HI:5, LOW:4; RF HI:5, LOW:4; LR HI: 5, LOW:4). ON THE BLOWN OUT TIRE...

I PURCHASED 4 NEW VEE RUBBER TIRES ON 12/5/15. SINCE THE PURCHASE I HAVE PUT LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON THE TIRES AND HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED TWO COMPLETE BLOWOUTS IN WHICH THE SIDE WALL OF THE TIRES APPEARS TO HAVE DISINTEGRATED WHILE DRIVING. HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON A FREEWAY OR AT A SPEED OVER 45 MPH I DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHICH MAY HAVE RESULTED IN SEVERE INJURY IF NOT DEATH.

I QUESTIONED THE FRONT END WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND WAS TOLD IT AS JUST TIRES OUT OF BALANCE.

GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP P275/60R20 SIDEWALL SPLITS I'VE HAD TO BUY 3 TIRES AT DIFFERENT TIMES DUE TO THIS TIRE FAILURE ALL 3 TIRES HAVE SPLITS IN SIDEWALL. VERY EXSPENSIVE TO REPLACE DUE TO THIS CAUSE.

I WAS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT , ASPHALT PAVED ROAD WHEN THE RIGHT REAR TIRE SUDDENLY FAILED. THERE WAS NO PRIOR INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRE. I HAD THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER ABOUT 7 DAYS BEFORE AND THEIR CHECKLIST SHOWS THE TIRES AND INFLATION WERE OK. MY SPEED AT THE TIME WAS ABOUT 40MPH. I HAVE A PHOTO OF THE TIRE. THE TIRE FAILED COMPLETELY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TIRE WHERE THE SIDEWALL MEETS THE TREAD. *TR

I PURCHASED A DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB HEMI 2007. IT CAME WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP P275/60R20 TIRES. SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I HAVE HAD MAJOR ISSUES WITH HYDROPLANING. EVEN IN THE LIGHTEST RAIN THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE WILL FISH TAIL AT IDLE SPEEDS. I CURRENTLY HAVE 25000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND IT HAS BEEN USED TO TOW A TOTAL OF 2000 OF THOSE MILES. THE TIRES TREAD HAVE WARN SO BAD THAT THEY ARE DOWN TO 6/32 OF A TREAD LIFE. THE OTHER ISSUE WITH THIS TIRE WAS 3 SMALL ROCKS WENT IN BETWEEN THE TREAD AND PUNCTURED THE TIRE IN THREE LOCATIONS IN THE FLAT PART OF THE TREAD TO CAUSE THE TIRE TO HAVE A LEAK. THE TIRE SLOW LEAKED AIR TO 18 PSI WHERE THE PUNCTURES WOULD SEAL THEMSELVES FROM THE VEHICLE WEIGHT. SMALL ROCKS SHOULD NOT OF BEEN ABLE TO PUNCTURE...
