2003 DODGE RAM 3500 Tires Problems

DELTA NATIONAL TIRES .I'M A SMALL TIRE DEALER I HAVE INSTALLED NUMEROUS 235/85 R16 E TIRES AND 245 AND 225 IN 16" EVERYONE OF THEM HAS FAILED ,SOME WITH AS FEW AS 500 MILES ON THEM ALL HAVE HAD SEPARATED OR BLEW OUT. I HAVE REMOVED EVERYONE OUT OF SERVICE AND DISPOSED OF THEM .THIS HAS HAPPENED ALL IN 2014-15 I WILL NOT LET MY CUSTOMERS DRIVE ON (ESSENTIALS, SENTENNIAL ) TIRES PLEAS LOOK IN TO THIS I NO LONGER HAVE ANY OF THE TIRE TO GIVE THE DOT # BUT ALL HAD 2014-15 BUILD DATES

GOODYEAR TIRE, WRANGLER SR/A, LT235/80R17E, MANUFACTURER 1503, BSW. TIRE SIDEWALL HAS EXTREME CRACKS ON BOTH SIDEWALLS FOR A DISTANCE OF 1 1/2 INCHES UP FROM THE RIM OF THE TIRE, THIS PROBLEM IS KNOWN AS THE" GOODYEAR SMILE". THE TIRES(7), ARE MOUNTED ON MY 2003 DODGE RAM P/U (DRW) 3500 AS OEM TIRES. THIS CRACKING IS SO EXTREME THAT I CAN ACTUALLY PUSH MY FINGER NAIL INTO THE CRACKS BY ABOUT 2/16TH'S OF AN INCH. GOODYEAR TIRE STORE DEALERS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS AN OZONE DEFECT AND NOT A MATERIAL DEFECT, THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN GARAGED ALL ITS LIFE WHEN NOT IN USE. I HAVE OBSERVED MANY OTHER TRUCKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM MANUFACTURED BY THE SAME COMPANY. IN FACT, THE (5) GOODYEAR TIRES LT235/85R16E THAT WERE INSTALLED AS OEM TIRES ON MY 2004 HITCHHIKER (NUWA) 5TH WHEEL TRAILER WERE REPLACED BY GOODYEAR FOR CRACKING BETWEEN THE RIBS...

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THE SIDE WALLS OF THE TWO FRONT TIRES WERE NOTICEABLY SPLITTING. THE TIRES WERE TAKEN TO A LOCAL TIRE DEALER, WHO DETERMINED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND OFFERED TO PRORATE THE TIRES UNDER WARRANTY. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE CONTACT ENCOUNTERED A NHTSA RECALL # 02X001000 REGARDING THE TIRES: TREAD/BELT.

ALL FOUR OUTSIDE TIRES HAVE SPLITS IN THE SIDE WALLS

THE TIRES HAD AN ONGOING FAILURE WITH DEEP TORQUE CRACKS AROUND THE SIDEWALL. THIS COULD RESULT IN A BLOW OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE ORIGINAL TIRES WERE REPLACED AT 15,000 MILES, THE SECOND REPLACEMENT TIRES WERE AT 20,0000 MILES. CURRENTLY, THIRD REPLACEMENT INVOLVED ALL TIRES FOR THE SAME FAILURE.*AK

THE TIRES ARE WEARING OUT AT AN UNUSUALLY FAST RATE.VEHICLE ONLY HAS 4000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, AND THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN VEHICLE HAD ONLY 500 MILES. THE CONSUMER IS A HOUSE BUILDER, AND DOES NOT DO ANYTHING UNUSUAL WITH THE VEHICLE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE BLEWOUT. CAUSE UNKNOWN.*AK
