Four problems related to tire have been reported for the 1997 Dodge Ram 2500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving a Dodge Ram 2500, without any load and at a speed of 35 mph on a straight smooth road the rear right tire burst for no apparent reason. A local firestone dealer believes that the tire was punctured and at a low pressure. I do not believe that as a visual inspection prior to the trip which resulted in the blowout did not indicate a low pressure.
The tire tread separated and the tire ripped apart while driving home from work at 65 mph.
While traveling on an interstate highway at approx 65 m. P. H. The tire tread and belts separated from the tire. At the time of the incident the vehicle was not involved in a towing operation nor was it carrying any type of load. There were 2 occupants in the vehicle and a small amount of luggage.
