What owners wrote
Front passanger tire is being ate up at 16000 this has been an on going issue since the vehicle reach 6000 miles, and been nor ram refuses to acknowledge a safety issue with the trucks and will cause a fatal accident. With 16000 these tires should not be wearing like this
Recently, I departed from home in my truck to head out on errands. I found it was difficult to steer. Realizing it felt like a flat front tire, I pulled off the road and found the front right tire was flat. At no time did I receive any warning from the factory installed tire pressure monitoring system. Looking at the TPMS, the pressure indicated 14 psi, then later 11 psi. At no time did I receive an audible or visual alarm from the truck.
