| Description of the problem | I recently purchased a new 2003 dodge ram 1500 quad cab. The tire placard on the inside of the door jam has the incorrect tire size on it. It states that the vehicle was manufactured with 15" tires when in fact i purchased it new (3 miles on the vehicle) with 20" tires installed. The oe window sticker shows that 20" tires were installed on the vehicle from the factory. How do i know what the correct tire pressure or correct tire size tire for the vehicle is. This is the second new dodge that i have bought in the last 2 years and the last had the same problem. Is it not required that the tire placard be accurate. *la |
