Two problems related to tire have been reported for the 2002 Dodge Ram 2500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
In December,2011, I purchased 2 equalizer sport a/p tires. In August 2013 , one of them had a tread separation, which I caught and replaced it before a bigger problem. In March, 2014 the tread of the second tire came off completely without warning. It damaged my vehicle. We were fortunate that my wife and I were not hurt as we were towing a 12,000 pound 5th wheel RV. Further information will be about the second incident.
Stock tires failed at 18k. Replaced all four tires and rims since it damaged one of the wheels during a blowout.
