Both front tires separated. almost caused accident. immediate shutter and bouncing of truck. i was forced to replace them. ended up replacing all six tires due to fear the others would separate. ram need to discontinue placing these tires on their $60 - $70 truck. should a disservice to their customers.

Tire failure nexen rodian separation at 11,000 miles. left front tire blowout on 95 at 65 mph. right front tire separation causing vibration also. replaced both tires.

Recently, i departed from home in my truck to head out on errands. i found it was difficult to steer. realizing it felt like a flat front tire, i pulled off the road and found the front right tire was flat. at no time did i receive any warning from the factory installed tire pressure monitoring system. looking at the tpms, the pressure indicated 14 psi, then later 11 psi. at no time did i receive an audible or visual alarm from the truck. later i had the nearby dealership investigate this, and they reported the system is working as designed, but they can't/won't show me in writing when the alarms are supposed to activate. i have an open case with ram customer care, but the manager continues to point towards the dealership's verbal answer. another person i know was recently driving towing a heavy rig when another driver pointed out to them that they had a flat tire on the truck. they told me they had not received any warning from the tpms. as you know, the risk of a tire overheating and blowing is what tpms is supposed to help drivers avoid. a tpms that is not warning drivers after about 10-20% loss of pressure is creating a risk for operators and other vehicles and passengers.

Driving on i-95 in georgia, all 8 of the lug studs on the drivers side dual rear wheels sheared off, causing the outer wheel to shoot past the truck in traffic, while attempting to stop the vehicle. vehicle was moving at a rate of 60 mph when the onset of severe vibration caused me to look for a safe place to pull over, and slow down. thank god the other rear wheel remained on the hub, though completely unsecured. the truck has just 4,500 miles on it.

'takata recall' mike complaint is with nexen tires, the tires have less than 16,000 miles on them and were noted to be separating i contacted nexen tire who told me to look at the warranty and refunded me a check for $150 for tires and installation for over $450 for something that is not my fault. i just found online where nixon tires have had incidents with the same exact tire that i have , i believe this was an issue they are aware about and failed the consumer. i have exchange the tires for two new mexican tires thinking this might of been an isolated incident but both places from which i got the tires replaced that said that next and tires we're separating and that was the cause of my tire damage but nixon has refused to reimburse me my money please help me
