A TIRE BLEW UP WHICH WAS OEM AT ONLY 14,000 MILES AT HIGHWAY SPEED UNDER NO WEIGHT LOAD IN THE BED. I'M IN A TRUCK CLUB OF FELLOW DAKOTA OWNERS. AT LEAST 6 OTHERS HAVE STATED PROBLEMS WITH THE STOCK EAGLE LS TIRES EXPLODING AT 14,000 MILES. WHILE I ONLY SUSTAINED DAMAGE OF A BLOWN TIRE AND DAMAGED RIM, OTHERS HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS WITH DIFFERENT EAGLE LS TIRES BLOWING AT DIFFERNET TIMES. I'VE CONTACTED GOODYEAR AND DODGE DIRECTLY. UNFORTUNATELY I DIDN'T HAVE THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO SAVE THE BLOWN TIRE AND RIM FOR INSPECTION. I DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING PERSONALLY FROM THIS BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF SOMEONE COULD LOOK INTO THIS SPECIFIC BRAND OF TIRE. THANK YOU. (TIRESIZE: 255/65/15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 255/65/15 )
