My 2017 ram 3500 6.7l dually with only 18,312 miles on it had a tread separation on a factory nexen roadian rear tire. Had another one previously late last year on a factory front tire at 14,412 miles. Luckily I discovered both with cupping of the tier and road vibration before catastrophic failure. The factory nexen roadian 10 ply tires on the ram trucks are crap and dangerous and I've read many other complaints about these same factory tires, some with catastrophic results.
