Never had a tire failure before. Mileage 24384. Bought Ram 3500 new November 2019 from Chapman Dodge in Las Vegas. They said not their problem, contact the tire manufacturer. Have complaint in on Nexen website. Please note attached jpg of tire and note from Ted Wiens Tire shop invoice stating condition of tires. Definitely needed to replace all 6. Just glad I wasn't hauling our 38 foot DRV Elite 5th wheel trailer when tire failed. Could have been catastrophic. NOTE: If you're buying a new Ram and it's got Nexen tires, demand a tire change before you'll buy. You can bet the dealer won't lose the sale over the 800 dollars dealer cost to swap out. Googled Nexen tires, quite a few complaints.
