2014 Ram 2500 Tires Problems

“Driving down the I-10 east of junction I felt a slight vibration and attempted to pull over and as I was doing so the passenger rear tire blew out and bent in the fender bed of my truck and broke the stabilizer bar for the bed skin. The tread separated from the side wall. There was no tread left on the tire, only sidewalls. I removed the tire and put on the spare to get home. Went to discount tire the next day and found out there was a recall on the same tire but different size. They replaced the tire with a new one and filed a claim with kumho and sent the defected tire to them.”

“Tire pressure monitoring system & firestone transforce ht 275/70r18 tires I have had numerous problems with my tire pressure monitoring system and tires. My testing is finding a tire pressure variance of up to 15 PSI between hot and cold pressures. Originally my truck would give me a tpm warning message with 3 PSI variance. Now it has been reprogrammed by chrysler so it requires a 15 PSI variance. This concerns me as such a pressure variance places my rear tires at 94 PSI. I am very concerned that these tires will break down and we will see a repeat of the 1980's firestone tire problems.”

“The tire pressure sensor will not go off and keeps blinking low tire pressure. I have made seven attempts to get this resolved. I was told by the dealer I bought the truck from last night that there is no more he can do. They over inflated the tires to 80 PSI to make the sensor go off but the tires are only rated for 65psi max. This over inflation had voided the tire warranty from the tire manufacturer. This could also result in a tire blow out and accident which could cause death to me, my family or passengers. I need to know how to get this problem resolved before anyone gets hut or killed.”

“Tpms does not allow setting tire pressures to the recommended tire setting from the tire manufacturer without triggering warning light and nag screen on startup. Constant warning light and nag screen correction will lead to driver complacency, negating the purpose of TPMS alerting the driver to a potential problem with the tires. Tpms required over inflation results in potential loss of vehicle control due to loss of traction. Abnormal tire wear due to tire over inflation increases risk of hydroplaning and loss of control of vehicle. …”

“Tpms does not allow setting tire pressures to either the oem door sticker setting nor the recommended tire setting from the tire manufacturer without setting warning light and nag screen on startup.
