Three problems related to tire sidewall have been reported for the 1996 Dodge RAM. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Bf goodrich radial tire (p245 75 r16) experienced sidewall separation which cause the consumer to lose control, the vehicle rolled several times, one person was injured due to the incident. (ohio traffic crash report).
One tire failed due to a side wall blister and the other failed from driving over rough stones. Neither should have happened on a truck tire. Tire size space would not recieve all numbers. They are ap p245/75r 16 m+s.
1/2 in from the rim the tire looks like sun rot as well as all the way around the sidewall, it is cracked and splitting aon the front and back tire, my mechanic said that this is very unsafe and if the tire gets hot the front and back will blow out, these tires only have 26000 miles on them, I haul a horse trail and a camper and am very concered about a blow out , while hauling a load. Both techs that looked at these tires said that the cracking and splitting is not right? can you give me advice to help ??.
