Bad outside tire wear on the front tires. At 37k I had to replace one of the front tires which I should have replaced both. The new tire has 3k on it and it is cupping bad on the outer edge. Never has this problem on the other 5 rams I owned since 1997 which were not this generation. I am old and I don’t drive it hard. I don’t fly around corners. Tires are rotated by the dealer every oil change.
The need to figure out what is going on. My personal opinion is that the Bridgestone Duellers are not for a Ram truck due to its weight. I am sure they are the OEM tires because they give you a soft ride but while turning corners you are getting a lot of tire roll.
I back my truck into my driveway so when I leave the house I just pull out. Lately I have been getting a rubbing feeling in my steering wheel. Today I went to the store and when I left I had my drivers window open. From a dead stop I made a right turn out of the parking lot, radio turned off, hvac off. I slowly pulled out and I could hear the drivers front tire just grinding away.
My son has a 2019 Big Horn and replaced all 4 tires because the outer portion of the tires had wear that I have never seen before. Looks like chunks of the sipes were missing and what remained looks like someone sat there for hours putting little cuts on what remained on the outer edge. I don’t recall what brand they were, definitely not OEM. I believe he replaced them with on/off road tires. He was at my house and when he left it sounded like the new tires were getting munched going slowly. The tires were put on by the dealer and they also did an alignment. He has also complained about high speed driving that he is getting a bunch of shaking as if his tires were not balance correctly.
In any case if I decide to replace all 4 tires I am going to go with a higher load range where there are more ply’s on the sidewall to prevent tire roll. I am happy to sacrifice the soft ride.
My ram has air suspension but I have heard that it is happening on all suspensions.
Looking for any additional recommendations.
