Angry Nexen Roadian Tires

My 2017 RAM 3500 dually, just as all RAM duallies, came with the Nexen Roadian Tires. I have 24,000 miles on them. Yesterday we were traveling from Van Horn, TX to Deming, NM. I noticed a vibration coming from the front end. My first thought was a balancing situation. I had the tires rotated, front end aligned & wheels balanced in May. Today I took it to the Deming RAM dealer to have it checked. They put the front tires on the balancing machine and discovered that the front driver side tire was ready to disintegrate!! Went directly to a tire dealer and had all six tires replaced. I can only imagine what a disaster we were heading for. I'm done with Nexen tires!!

I just hit 20k miles on my ‘16. I hate the tires too. I can’t bring myself to replace them at this point.

My front tires made it to 18k miles. Replaced with Coopers. The 4 rears will get replaced in the spring.

I bought a used vehicle in 2012 with Nexen Roadians on it, they were so new still had molding nubs, drove it 300 miles and went to Yokohama tires. TERRIBLE tires those Nexens.
