| TIRES - PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS | |||
| Problems with tire equipment on 2003 dodge diesel 3500 truck.*mr the vehicle was delivered to the consumer's ten pounds below the minimum pressure for a safe ride. the consumer's test drove one 3500, but didn't like the roughness of the ride. the second 3500, the vehicle in question rode much smoother. they had the vehicle serviced at the dealership to insure it was ready for a long trip. after being driven 3000 miles, the vehicle handled very bad on wet and muddy roads. consumer had the tires checked and realized it rode smooth at first because it was 10 pounds under pressure. when inflated to the proper pressure (55) it rode rough even at 40 mph or less. *ph | |||

| 4th tire failure, goodyear lt235?80r17 several side wall tire splits,both outer surfaces of tire. tire had 10/32 of 15/32 tread remaining, this tire is one already replaced by goodyear. the casing is at west tire svc, 4000 hwy 281 north, marble falls ,tx78654, phone 830/693-0475, fax: 830/693-0602. would be nice if you impounded tis tire for examination and fact finding before they ship it away. there was no accident or curb bounce involved, just a faulty tire and it's interesting to note that all my driving on michelin tires never had a mess like this one and my driving style has not changed. *nm | |||
