Left rear tire on Ram 2500 megacab blew while towing a wildcat 312bhx 5th wheel on 7/25/2020 at 4:30 pm on I 26 w in SC about 1 mile West of exit 72. Traveling at 65 mph, tire was inflated to 78 psi and no alarm received from TPMS system prior to tire blow out, felt a weird vibration immediately before the tire blew. The blow out caused $5817.45 worth of damage to the truck, not including the cost of new tires. No additional accident happened because we were able to pull safely off the interstate onto the shoulder and remove any large debris pieces from the interstate.

TPMS requires minimum of 80 psi in rear tires of Ram truck. This is too high of tire pressure to assure the rear tires have adequate contact with the surface of the road under light load conditions. While driving in a 35 mph stretch of Pennsylvania roads with 80 psi (required) of tire pressure in the rear tires of my new Ram 2500, the truck rear tires broke free from the surface of the road several times requiring evasive measures to avoid an accident. The vehicle doesn't permit an option to reduce tire pressure monitoring system to a light load condition when necessary to reduce tire pressures. This creates an unsafe situation for motorists. Please issue a recall or change to these models before some is killed by loosing control of their vehicle....updated 07/30/15 updated 11/9/2015 updated 10/25/2017

The tire pressure monitoring system showed a warning message. The rr tire showed -- as the tire pressure. The dealer stated that there was a recall and that all four tire sensors would need to be checked. The dealer replaced all four sensors at no charge.
