TIRES:TREAD/BELT

lt245/70r17 we had the other front tire separate a few weeks ago. the employee was driving a few miles an hour on property when she felt and heard a thumping. immediately parked it. this is the 3rd tire in the last couple of months, all of them cooper discover LT tires without significant mileage that have had blets/tread split/separate. I foudn that there was a 500000 tire recall of this line last year. i think the problem is bigger.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT

one of my guys was driving a company vehicle when he felt wobble. upon returning to our property he showed me that the front passenger tire had major tread separation. no accidents, etc were involved. we had a tread separation on another truck 2 weeks ago so this brought up a red flag and i looked up the tires and found recalls of similar lines last year. So i want to log this in case other people are also having this issue. we have cooper discoverer at3 on a few trucks. Lt 245/70r17

TIRES

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 *BF UPDATED 11/9/2015*JS UPDATED 10/25/2017
