| Description of the problem | My 2006 dodge ram has the goodyear wrangler hp 275/60r20 installed. My truck just turned 40k. My tires are always rotated and proper tire inflation. I noticed recently that my truck started vibrating. First it was minor then it finally is too much to bare. I had taken it in twice before thinking it was a balance weight issue and each time the tire stored removed or added a small amount of weight. There was a big difference coming back from a 1400 mile road trip recently. At first there was the usual small vibration, but at the end of this trip the whole truck shaking bad. I took the truck in for the 3rd time and come to find out the rear tire was finally showing signs of separation. I was told that i was very lucky that this tire did not separate during my trip. I plan on contacting goodyear, but from what i have read online they don't seem to care or will blame it on driving style. I have yet to find someone that has received a warranty or pro rated price for new tires. Dodge needs to stop putting these on the trucks or someone will get killed, like my family almost did. |
