While driving home from North Carolina in my 2500 Dodge Ram one of my uniroyal tires separated damaging the rear driver side fender. This is the second time I have had a catastrophic failure with the liberator lt26575R16E. The fist time walmart replaced the tire and repaired the fender. Their should be a recall on this tire before someone dies.

Ram 2500

  • miles
I bought some new toyo M-55 tires less than a month ago. These tires are out of round and bounce and vibrate horribly even though they have been balanced twice. Also they handle terrible to the point where one could lose control or flip a vehicle. The tires feel like radial tires on one end and bias ply on the other. Very dangerous situation. I can not maintain the speed limit because of the serious up and down bounce motion of these tires. If someone would like to take a ride in my truck, I would be more than glad to even let them drive the thing. These things make a the Ford Explorer thing look like a picnic.

Ram 2500 4WD

  • miles
I was traveling on the highway at about 65 miles per hour when the steering wheel was jerked out of my hands. The truck began to swerve and vibrate, and I realized a tire had blown out. I did not see anything I could have hit on the road nor did I feel like I had hit anything. I changed the tire and took the blown tire to my local Goodyear dealer who examined it and confirmed that the tire had not been cut or punctured and concluded that I was running low tire pressure and therefore, even though there is only 17% tread wear I was entitled to only a 50% adjustment on the tire. Numer one I check my tire pressures on all my vehicles regularly and keep at least 40 to 42 pounds of air in at all times, and number two what happened to my manufacturers warranty that states a full replacement during the first twelve months of ownership. I have been in the car business for over 25 years and am a Pennsylvania state inspection mechanic and I understand the importance of tire pressure, and that is why I check my regularly. I know in my heart that the tire pressure was not low on this tire and it worries me that it could happen again to another tire on this truck, maybe this time with more dire consequences. I have lost faith in Goodyear, Dodge, and the dealer, and feel totally out of control when driving this vehicle with Goodyear Wrangler. By the way this my first blow out in over 32 years of driving, no matter what my tire pressures were"??" (dot number: M670 jcor tiresize: 245/15R16)
