We currently have 16,637 mile on our 1999 Dodge Ram van. In recent weeks we notice that the front and rear tires were worn down to the radial bar. In addition, there are several air bumps forming on all four tires. Withe recent Firestone and Ford problems, I took the van to merchants tire and auto where I normally do business. They informed me that the tires were shot, are a saftey concern and should be replaced. I then took the van to tire warehouse to get a second opion on the tires. Again, I was told that the tires were in very bad condition and should be replaced as soon as possible. I called the Goodyear 800 number to request my rights and in what direction I should go, but I was only given the run-around and switched brom operator to operator. My concern with this tire is that on the side of the tire it states that it has a max weight of 2,293 pounds. Given that the van is a half ton, and has added after market conversion package, it is possible that the weight exceeds the limit. I asked Dodge about this concern, since they sell the conversion van, and I was told that it is possible that the tires do not meet the current weight of the total van package. My question is, are there other reported incidents with this tire and vans, or with this tire in genereal. Also, do I have a legal recourse against either Dodge or Goodyear to pursue in order to get my tires replaced before an accident. I use the van as my primary source of transportation and I Transport my teenage kids and sometimes their friends, on a daily basis. Thank you for any cooperation in this matter.

3 tires have cracked at the seam of the bead thus causing sidewall to separate from bead, 2 of the tires have already been replaced, one still currently on truck and Goodyear won't correct defective tire. (dot number: M670ckor48 tiresize: P24575R16)

Tires are not big enough for the load of the van. Consumer took vehicle to dealership, and they are aware of the problem.
