Description of the problem	I purchased a dodge ram 1500 quad cab hemi 2007. It came with goodyear wrangler hp p275/60r20 tires. Since i purchased the vehicle i have had major issues with hydroplaning. Even in the lightest rain the rear end of the vehicle will fish tail at idle speeds. I currently have 25000 miles on the truck and it has been used to tow a total of 2000 of those miles. The tires tread have warn so bad that they are down to 6/32 of a tread life. The other issue with this tire was 3 small rocks went in between the tread and punctured the tire in three locations in the flat part of the tread to cause the tire to have a leak. The tire slow leaked air to 18 psi where the punctures would seal themselves from the vehicle weight. Small rocks should not of been able to puncture the tire being an on/off road aggressive tire. This tire also should not have only 6/32 of a tread life after 25000 miles of highway miles over 12 months. I contacted goodyear and took the tires to a goodyear dealer to get checked and when i called goodyear they told me the rock issue is a roadway hazard, but i was charged for the repair. For the hydroplane and tread wear, they told me there was nothing they could do. The dealer i went too, told me in his opinion those tires are not aggressive enough or heavy enough for that model truck, and he does not understand why goodyear is placing them stock on that vehicle. That is the cause for the hydroplaning. I have almost had 2 accidents in the past 2 weeks during light showers due to sliding rear end. The vehicle hydroplanes during any rainy conditions, no matter how light or how severe. This caused him to have to drive his vehicle in 4 wheel drive, during these types of weather conditions. Also the jack of the vehicle does not fit his tires. His vehicle came equipped with 20'' rims and the jack is made for 18''. He called the manufacturer and was told that they do not make jacks for 20
