2002 Dodge RAM 1500 Tires Tread Belt Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The vehicle is a 2002 dodge ram sport 4x4 with 28,000 miles with goodyear wrangler hp 275/60/20 tires. I have had 12 tires which had to be replaced when they were ruined after going flat from puntures as well as numerous flat repairs. Complaints to both daimler chrysler and goodyear yielded nothing but comments of surprise on both their parts with a reminder that there is no warranty on the tires. The dodge brochure says off road rated tires, goodyear says excellent off road traction. The tires have no puncture resistance, the present tires have hundreds of cuts, some through to the belts. Last new tire blew with just 100 miles on it. First flat was at 250 miles on vehicle. When the tires are punctured the inner liner splits making repairs improbable. Goodyear is the only manufacturer of that size tire so there are no alternatives. Perhaps the lemon law may help, goodyear and daimler chrysler will not. Good news is that i can probably get a job on a nascar pit crew with my new found tire changing speed which may help supplement my income to buy more tires for my truck.*ak
