Four problems related to tire sidewall have been reported for the 1998 Dodge RAM. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Driving at 55 mph the tire separated the tread from the sidewall and peeled all the way around. The tread is still like new. (tiresize: lt26575r16).
This is a "load range e" goodyear tire problem. At 30081, 30805, 35213, and 38060 miles one each of the original equipment tires failed due to sidewall separation and was replaced at varying charges by goodyear. Now, at about 50,000 miles, one of the replacement tires has failed for the same reason. Goodyear is giving me a "run around" as has been the case in all previous occurances, variously claiming that the tire is "no longer avaailable" "on backorder" "no longer manufactured" "not adjustable" etc. It has now been two weeks since the last failure was shown to goodyear, and they claim not to be able to locate a replacement. I have complete documentation of each of these situations, dealer names and locations, and am ready to assist you in whatever way is appropriate. (dot number: unknown tiresize: lt24575r16).
Belt separated from tire. Sidewalls was shredded. (tiresize: p225/75r16).
Goodyear, wrangler, p265/75r16 , dot#4b73d5dr1900 sidewall separation on front passenger's side. Consumer was driving at highway speed when separation occurred. Tires had less than 20,000 miles on them.
