Description of the problem | Nexen roadian htx rh5 lt235r/80-17 lr e. Right front tire has started to have an internal issue. The tire has "crowned" on the tread line. Meaning it has an arc on tread area from side to side and is higher in the center. Vehicle vibrates while driving it between 40 to 70 mph. All tires were rotated at about 6,500 miles. The vehicle is at 7,900 miles currently. The vehicle has always had some shaking to it since it was new. It has gotten progressively worse. I won't even bother with a warranty claim. These tires should be banned from us dot approval and fca should be fined hevavely for being allowed to put nexen tires on it's trucks period. All owners should be given credit towards purchasing replacement tires. There are many forums with various complaints about the nexen tires being installed on ram trucks. For the safety of myself and fellow ram owners the nexen tires should be banned from entering the usa either via oem choice or any retailer or commercial seller. These tires have an early 2014 date code. I'll be purchasing a nice new pair of bridgestone tires for my truck. |
