Tire Blowout Problems of Dodge Ram 1500

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 5, low:4). On the blown out tire from the rr tire they found no foreign debris, nails, cuts or any reason that the tire should have blown out the side wall. Josh called cooper tire and rubber at their 800-573-9523 customer service number and talked to the on duty supervisor (doug). I was listening on speaker to josh and doug discussing the tire. Josh stated that all four tires were: discover at3; 265/10/17; dot# ut1y 1a6 3214 on all 4 tires came from the same batch# and lot#. Josh stated to doug that there should be no reason the rr tire should have blown and that there was no foreign debris found. Josh stated to doug that the only reason for the blow out was manufactures side wall defect. Josh also, stated the remaining three tires had excessive wear beyond any normal wear for tires rated at a 60k mile warranty. He also stated that this was most likely due to manufacturing defect in the rubber. Doug (c. S. Supervisor) stated the only thing he could due, was pro-rate the blown out tire and pro-rate the remaining 3 tires. Nothing has been done to correct these issues by cooper tire, atd (american tire distributor or jbc tire at this time.

While I was on my way to work one day, my first indication was a high vibration from the left front tire at certain speeds, and a slight pull to the left. When I arrived at my destination (about five minutes after I first felt the vibration) my tire blew out all the air instantly. After I got the tire changed, I inspected it, and found several sidewall cracks running from the edge of the treads progressing down to the sidewall about 2 to 3 inches in length. They ran at an angle that matched the rotation of the tire. There was no impact to the sidewall at any time. Some of the other tires show small lines that could develop into cracks. I have not taken the tires to the place of purchase because I want to make sure if it is a defect I want the public warned and prevent any tragedy. Thank you.

While changing the oil, noticed a severe grove in the inside side wall of each front tire. (severe enough for imediate tire replacement) discovered that the groves had been caused by rubbing against the lower a frame (found shiny areas where tires had rubbed). The intended stops to prevent this from happening were not engaging early enough in the steering turn to prevent this. We checked two other pickups of same model year and make and found identical problems. When we checked 2003 trucks at a local dealer we found this area had been redesigned. This looks like a major design flaw in the wheel area for this model year. I have 79,000 miles on this truck but only 25,000 miles on the tires, which were otherwise in very good shape. This is going to start killing people as other trucks milage increase. These tires could have blown at any time under normal driving.

I was traveling east on the paved portion of nevada state roure 290 at about 50 mph. The left rear tire blew out. About a 10 inch long portion of the tire just shreded. When I took it to the local goodyear dealer he refused to make good on it. He claimed I had run over a curb or some other obstacle. I had never rubbed a curb, let alone hit one, or hit any other obstacle. I figured it was not worth the time and effort to contact the manufacturer. I know of two other people in carson city who have had the same problem with goodyear tires. Firestone has been racked over the coals. I tink it is time to, at least, investigate goodyear to see how safe their tires are. (dot number: unknown tiresize: p265/75r16).
