Two problems related to tire blowout have been reported for the 1998 Dodge Ram 2500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Tl the contact owns a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 equipped with four mastercraft courser axt (na) tires, size: 285/75/r16/ (na). The tires were purchased in January of 2018. While driving approximately 65 mph and pulling a trailer, the front passenger tire suddenly blew out. During the incident, the front passenger rim was destroyed. The contact indicated that the exact tire pressure was checked before starting the trip. The manufacturer and local dealer (elliston repair and tire in fredricktown, ohio were notified. The VIN and vehicle failure mileage were unknown. The tire failure mileage was 100.
On a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 three of the five stock goodyear wrangler rt/s 245/75 r16 tires have been voluntarily replaced by the manufacturer for sidewall separation. The fourth tire blew one week ago while towing a light boat (2000lbs) at approximately 65mph. I was able to maintain control, but I had my wife and two children aboard and am upset that the same problem has occurred repeatedly due to an admitted manufacturer error. The tires have less than 45,000 miles on them and the replacements are showing minute signs of sidewall separation with less than 10,000 miles. To replace these tires would cost approximately $800, $1000 with the spare. I feel endangered by the reputation of the tires and truly feel that the product that I have paid for has fallen woefully short of expectation, while operated under very light workloads and very low mileage. I feel it is the responsibility for goodyear to provide a safe and quality product that meets the demands of a load range e tire.
