It's probably best to try and work closely with the tire warranty manager with the problem you describe. If it's the tire's fault they are going to want to discover why.

Inferior tires on trucks? Granted they "meet or exceed industry standards" but.... We just endured 10 years of ST tire drama, is this Nexen brand going to become the new ST "talk of the town" (but on trucks not trailers) ???

Looking at it from Chrysler's perspective: Produce 1 million trucks per year, save $3 per tire (x5 per vehicle) equals $15 per vehicle equals 15 million in profit on tires alone... Factor that to Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler and Fiat and you get savings on tires that equals or surpasses the entire corporate profit structure for 2018.... I get the motivation to increase profits, but who has even heard of Nexen tires???

You can read about several similar reports on the Dodge Ram Forum.

That's why it's highly recommended that those with the problems should get connected directly with Nexen warranty officials.

Note: Nexen has been providing OEM tires for Chrysler products since 2012.

The new to us 2016 Ram DRW we just bought still has the OEM Nexin tires and wear looks good, we will watch for any issues. Replacements will be Michelin . I checked about $1,600 for a set of six.
