“Excessive rear tire pressure in tires on rear axle causes loss of traction and the rear end to skid out in wet conditions. 80 PSI is fine for heavy loads, but on a empty pick-up it causes a small tire contact service area. I have easily corrected the problem by reducing the rear tire PSI to 50 PSI which solves the problem and still is more than needed for a 2900 lb load the problem is this turns on the TPMS light making it useless. I have seen more than one o these pick-ups loose controlandrollover as a result of this excessive tire PSI on unloaded pick-up trucks that had 80 PSI in them.”
NHTSA complaint #10293411, filed 2009-11, 14,000 miles“I have been trying to resolve this matter with nitto and have had the tires inspected by one of there distributors at their request. It was determined that the tire separation that is occurring appears to be a manufacturing defect according to the inspector. This is the fourth tire from this same manufacturer to fall apart and at approx 18000 miles with this set. It is a huge concern as they show no signs of wear or defect until they are about to fail. …”
