Big Problems / Ram 3500 / Crappy Nexen tires

[@gunsandrotors8704]

My F350 came with Goodyear wrangler a/t kevlar E rated. So far wearing good 80 psi in rear 60 up front. Glad it has 18 inch rims.

[@rvdogfl]

The way I check my tires is just jack up the truck and put a length of 2x4 wood 1/4" away from the tire tread ,spin the tire and it is easy to find the bubbles in the tires. I do the same thing with my trailer tires. No need to take the tires off the truck.

[@runenergizer2838]

Thank you. We experienced the same issue around 24K miles.

[@kathrynsummers2303]

Glad you guys made it home safely

[@SLICKW1993]

I ditched mine @ 36k miles. The biggest improvement was doing the Theuren manufacturing alignment specs. My front right tire would wear out quick, now not an issue.

[@RunawayRoses]

I might need to look into that alignment too. Thanks for watching!

[@truetexan7755]

I also hate the fact that the nexen tires also pick up every little pebble on the road. I am constantly prying out dozens of them every day.

[@code4forlife]

I have always had good luck with Michelin‘s. I replaced all my tires once they were 5 years old even though I had plenty of tread left. I carry a camper with Single Rear wheel and don’t want to chance a sidewall separation. I hope you get your Tire situation resolved. Safe Travels

[@brandongreen90]

Good y'all made it home safely..👍

[@rabbi7933]

Todd, dude. I felt really bad for you when it turned out to be the front after you had pulled the rear. Man that sucks. Glad you’re both safe.

[@brentmcmahon8188]

My right front tire did the same thing on 05 Dodge 3500 dullay and they were factory tires .😊and did get bad all at once.

[@markb8486]

I had this same problem with the Nexen tire on my 3500. Right front also. Only 15k on the Nexens. We now have all new Michelins.

[@danholmes9212]

I have run 2 sets of nexen with zero issues sounds like just lucked up on a bad set.

[@ramtowit549]

Get the Michelin Agilis Crossclimate. I have the same truck and nearly the same TC. I couldn't be happier with the new tires. I almost made the mistake and upgraded to 19.5. The Michelin handle the weight well.....Bryan

[@kevinwilliams2261]

I ran those factory tires for 50,000 miles without a problem, towing my 5th wheel about 10,000 of that. I did replace them with a Toyo AT2's. Went to a larger size (255/80x17). Puts a little more meat on the ground and a little more height, 33 inches.

[@williamlandry8081]

This is my second ram 3500 DRW. One was 2017 and now 2021 ram DRW. Nexens tires are the worst. Had to replace fronts on 2017 after 18,000 miles. Then the rears after. Now have 15,000 on new truck and fronts and back tires are wearing bad.

[@educatedautomotiveowner6788]

This isn’t Nexen’s fault this is Ram’s fault for not using Nexen’s CT8 HL tire. Which has a significantly higher load rating and also costs substantially more! Nexen makes very good products, which I have been using for years. This is 100% Ram’s fault.

[@ronblack45]

1 word for you Todd...Michelin tires only. My experience only.

[@larryseroter]

Good luck with your tires, always a great video. Stay safe and healthy.

[@freetoroam7769]

I hauled a 9.5' Lance on a single rear wheel 3500 for 27 years, and had two separations over the years with two different brands while on the highway. Luckily, I was able to get pulled over before blowouts. My third set of tires were Toyo, and didn't have any problems. But I wanted more piece of mind, so I replaced that 3500 with a new dually, so at least there are backup tires back there. BTW, it has Michelins from the factory, so hopefully I'll get a long life out of them.

[@timhouts6312]

Todd look at cooper I’ve run them on my trucks for years with no problems and I’ve all ways gotten more miles than there rated for great tires for the money good luck stay safe.

[@SLICKW1993]

I’m on my second set 👍

[@ralphp3057]

Just buy good tires Todd. Your rig and you should not compromise safety. Good luck!

[@ultramagaviking1966]

these are factory tires. who would have thought and 85000 truck would come with shit tires.

[@randpamadventures8374]

Had the same problem, change the Crappy Nexen tires after 25k mikes for all Goodyear all terrain ko2 10 ply tires, rides very quite and they very strong for that Lance camper.

[@edduubb6022]

BFG makes the K02 not Goodyear

[@terryr5062]

I thought I was the only one who had this happen. All my nexans did exactly the same thing. Funny how the tyre companies said they had never heard of it happening. If you have them get them off asap.

[@hermanhale9258]

Talked to an auto shop this morning and they suggested Nexans to save money. No thanks.

[@neilwomack3324]

Same problem with my Ram Nexen at 23k. Now running Coopers.

[@chug-a-lugdoug4638]

So amazing guys

[@wanderlostrvr2582]

I had Nexen tires on the van I converted. Since sold 🤭

[@GARY-yu8pc]

Your safe that's the main thing

[@dougsweldingfabrication953]

Just subscribed... Great videos. You both seem very down to Earth. Looking forward to more videos and updates.

[@RunawayRoses]

Doug, thank you for subscribing to our channel! We really appreciate that.

[@rin1702]

Love my B.F. KO 2’s on stock wheels.

[@josephlwallssr6166]

I believe, I used to buy those tires years ago!( save a few bucks) Nothing, but bad results! It pays to do your research and pay the extra$$ to get a good quality tire.For safety 👌 first.If I remember correctly, the interior side of tires ,litterly desintetated! Scarey shit!

[@stinger4583]

Sorry for your truck problem. I'm very interested in finding out what the root cause is. I hope it's not your wheel bearings. Good luck. Happy Independence Day. 🗽

[@markw6602]

The OEM tires are the worst. You're lucky you got as many miles out of them as you did.

[@Combatvector]

Todd i have a 2018 Ram 3500 with a Arctic Fox 1150, i never felt comfortable with the factory Nexen"s after reading of people having blowouts etc, swapped to Toyo M655 19.5's and Vision Heavy Haulers 19.5 wheels, what a huge difference, yes the 19.5's wander a bit in the beginning like you've probably heard of but that has pretty much stopped after a few thousand miles, but they are far and away beefy tires than the Nexens, good luck

[@RunawayRoses]

Hey Combatvector,. Thanks for the feedback on your 19.5's. I'm seriously thinking about those but it's hard to know if it's worth the extra expense. I sure like the way they look. Thanks for watching!

[@Combatvector]

Yea I bought the tires and wheels off the internet for 3000ish and had a local shop mount and balance for 400ish but these tires are supposed to last for a long time

[@ultramagaviking1966]

I'm having the same problem on my 2020 ram 3500 Nexen Roadian AT Pro factory tires sepaerating at 25000 miles

[@manatee419]

You need put a tire on there that will hold all the weight and it's going to be a 10 ply at least or you will be on barrow time. I have BF Goodrich on my Roadtrex 10 ply and I enjoy them real well.

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

I would think the RAM 3500 would already come with an E rated 10 ply tire as it's designed to tow around 30,000 lbs.

[@FloridaKeysPirate]

I’ve had both front tires fail on my 18 Ram 3500. Same tires as you. The tread separates from the belts I believe.

[@RunawayRoses]

Todd's getting new tires this week because we're heading back out on a camping trip soon. You think they'd put better tires on a truck that is that expensive :-) Thanks for watching!

[@ibrahimaldossri2646]

Hey……. Do you think the weight effect the tires as you said in the previous videos, the weight is more than 40,000 lbs. Thanks 🙏 keep it up 👍

[@downbytheriver501]

Time to get some Toyos! I've been through 6 sets and have never had a problem. and I off-road a lot. With truck campers. Best tire on the market is the toyo at3. Super grippy in all seasons. Also, do you have wear in the middle of your tires? 80 psi on the fronts seems like a lot. I usually have my fronts at about 60. but they are 285/75/18s, so they don't need to be aired up as much in the front as a factory tire. (this is with a northern lite 9-6 on also)

[@RunawayRoses]

The front tires have work evenly. On our dually it calls for 80psi on the front and 65psi in the back. Thanks for watching..

[@tndeere]

I have worked for a major tire company for 31 years. Always remember with tires you get what you pay for .NEVER NEVER buy tires made in China

[@educatedautomotiveowner6788]

Nexen is a Korean tire brand.

[@lowbudgetballer]

Never leave home without even a cheap cordless air compressor that looks like a drill...

[@jeffs5603]

My Nexen tire split on the interior side wall.

[@Handydam]

Hello Todd and Carla!! Loving your videos. Well I have my new to me camper first one. 1997 Lance 990 legend. Love it so far. I have a 2010 ram 3500 dually like your old truck but earlier model too. Anyways I just had tire issues myself. I had 6 or my bolts shear off, Luckliy I stopped in time got towed on a flat bed since I had my camper on back. My question you had aluminum rims too right? And thoughts on that verse steel? I probably have to buy new rims since the one got wrecked.

[@ultramagaviking1966]

these tires need to be recalled ASAP. I tow a 23000lb trailer and my Nexen FACTORY tires from RAM are separating..

[@rabbi7933]

Stick with the stock wheels. That leaves more money for more fun.

[@nathanielplenge]

One word: Michelin...that's what I'm planning on using...probably do steer tired only...and use the Nexen steers as replacements for the rears. Glad you both made it safely. A steer tire blowout could have been catastrophic. Thanks for the heads-up on the Nexens. 👍👍

[@danfox5119]

Hey guys, appreciate your work, I'm going back and watching your previous vids. Fellow TC'r, Lance 825/Ram2500. I appreciate watching your journey, and struggles! I've not had a major tire problem yet, except did see a sway issue resolve with a tire upgrade. Just curious what air compressor you carry. Thanks! Dan

[@RunawayRoses]

Hi Dan, It's a Viair but I don't remember what size. It's one of the high PSI models. I think at the time it was around $80 or so a few years ago. Thanks for watching!

[@danfox5119]

@@RunawayRoses Right on! Thanks

[@bryanbreeden1802]

That sucks about your tires. Are you still glad you got your Lance?

[@RunawayRoses]

We just had this discussion on our last trip, we are definitely loving the Lance. And the longer we own a truck camper, the more we love it. Thanks for watching!

[@patriot8087]

You could have bad belts that have moved on your tires. I'm certain your tires are junk and not safe with your load.

[@cabbyhubby]

My POS nexem tires lasted 29,000, ..... pitiful

[@johnw.7584]

So what tires did you all get. Also did you fiber out all the movement and popping sound? Thks

[@soundman447]

I think I would start carrying a battery impact.

[@territ8837]

Made the mistake of buying those tires once.

[@kennethc8182]

How many miles did you have on the tires ?
