2014 Dodge Ram 1500 factory Goodyear tires blow out during interstate driving in hershey pa model oem Goodyear Wrangler 275/60R20 I was getting into I-83 at speed of 45mph when I heard a sound. And just down the road in I-83 when I was at speed of 60mph the tire sensor came up showing psi <17. These tires were rotated around 5K miles and nitrogen gas used. If I was driving at the speed of the traffic (>70mph) when the tire blow out took place it would have caused a major road accident. After it was taken for repair it showed a lateral blow out of the tire.

This post is related to NHTSA id #10585728. I also have the same issue. I have 20 inch wheels/tires but the spare is 17 inches. I called the dealer where I bought this truck and they said that is the way they come from the manufacturing plant. I was told that the 17 inch wheel was the same height as the 20 inch wheel so it was ok. I was also told that they do not advise people to drive more than 50 miles on the 17 inch spare.
