“2017 Ram 2500 diesel with firestone transforce at tires. Tires have approximately 27000 miles on them and need to be replaced.

I'm sure I am not the only owner with this issue. Please resolve this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11244416, filed 2019-08, 27,000 miles“The tire pressure monitoring system requires I have 60 PSI in the front tires and 80 PSI in the rear tires.

My real concern though, is that the over-inflated condition cause the tires to lose traction unexpectedly during wet or icy conditions. On several occasions my vehicle has become 'squirrelly' while I was just driving down the highway. …”
