Nexen roadian htx rh5 lt235r/80-17 lr e. right front tire has started to have an internal issue. the tire has "crowned" on the tread line. meaning it has an arc on tread area from side to side and is higher in the center. vehicle vibrates while driving it between 40 to 70 mph. all tires were rotated at about 6,500 miles. the vehicle is at 7,900 miles currently. the vehicle has always had some shaking to it since it was new. it has gotten progressively worse. i won't even bother with a warranty claim. these tires should be banned from us dot approval and fca should be fined hevavely for being allowed to put nexen tires on it's trucks period. all owners should be given credit towards purchasing replacement tires. there are many forums with various complaints about the nexen tires being installed on ram trucks. for the safety of myself and fellow ram owners the nexen tires should be banned from entering the usa either via oem choice or any retailer or commercial seller. these tires have an early 2014 date code. i'll be purchasing a nice new pair of bridgestone tires for my truck.
2015 dodge ram 3500 dually with 28,000 miles on it and i have already replaced 3 of the 6 tires due to tire tread separation. i have never experienced anything like this before, but have never owned this brand of tires either. these are the original tires that came on the truck to begin with. very poor tire!
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ram 3500. while driving 45 mph, the vehicle unintentionally pulled to the right and left. the contact also mentioned that there was a loud abnormal noise coming from the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to jerry damson chrysler dodge jeep ram (790 n brindlee mountain pkwy, arab, al 35016, (256) 586-6041) where unknown repairs had to be performed to the transmission and turbo charger. in addition, the hubs and bearings were replaced. the contact stated that the failures still occurred after the repairs. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. the failure mileage was 143,000.
The front tires wear excessively on the outer edges. i have taken it to fletcher dodge 3 times to correct the issue. the service department acknowledged that this is a problem they have seen before with this model vehicle. fletcher dodge did replace the 2 front tires and performed an allignment. chrysler set up a star account and worked on it. chrysler acknowledged there is a problem but do not know what it is and there is nothing they can do, and it is caused be towing heavy loads. i drive it mostly and from work. i use a 2 horse trailer about 4 times a year for aproximately 340 miles and hay 3 times a year for approximately 40 miles.
Before i had 7500 miles on vehicle i had to replace both steer tires due to separation that was determined to be defective tires, since the i have had to replace 3 additional tires for same defect, complete separation of build material that has caused extreme bounce and vibration resulting in 5 tires being replaced due to defects, retailer that has handled the last 3 stated this is very common to the ram trucks with these nexen brand tires
I only have 15,000 miles and i already replaced front tires & have to replace them again front end is shaking so bad when you go over 40mph & i have spoke to other people that have the same problems with there 2014 dodge ram 3500!
