Tpms requires minimum of 80 psi in rear tires of ram truck. This is too high of tire pressure to assure the rear tires have adequate contact with the surface of the road under light load conditions. While driving in a 35 mph stretch of pennsylvania roads with 80 psi (required) of tire pressure in the rear tires of my new Ram 2500, the truck rear tires broke free from the surface of the road several times requiring evasive measures to avoid an accident. The vehicle doesn't permit an option to reduce tire pressure monitoring system to a light load condition when necessary to reduce tire pressures. This creates an unsafe situation for motorists. Please issue a recall or change to these models before some is killed by loosing control of their vehicle.
Vehicle tpms on Ram 2500's is set to 80psi for "proper inflation" on a unloaded truck is way to much. When driving durning summer months tire pressure is exceeding max tire pressure of 80psi. No way to deflate tire to more safe pressures without tpms "light" and "warning indicator" telling you to inflate tires to 80psi. Update tpms to be able to lower tire pressures to a more reasonable pressure before someone blows out a tire and has or causes an accident.
