I was driving on the highway north from Lawton Oklahoma to Oklahoma City Oklahoma when my truck steering wheel abruptly began to violently shake and the truck dart to the right. I slowed to about 5 miles per hour and the truck began to bounce, left to right. I took the truck to a ram dealer and was informed the the driver side front tire needed immediate replacement. My truck has 12,500. miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. After dealer I took the truck to a tire shop (listened to how Nexen tires are poorly constructed). I also researched the exact tire on my truck further and learned that treat separation happens without notice. I also spoke with a friend who owns a similar ram and learned he had already replace his tires for the same issue. Low mileage in his example as well. I save both front tires for inspection if anyone is interested. These tires are clearly unsafe!

Since purchase brand new, a pop could be heard when moving the steering wheel right or left. Happened mainly at a stop or after slowing to turn. The frequency has increase and the pop sound can be felt and heard when stopped, standing and simply moving the steering wheel slightly right or left.
