I bought Silent Armors for my 2010 Ram Laramie. While hunting in really low temps and lots of ice on dirt roads my tire pressure on couple of tires dropped pretty bad, and the day after I got home I found one of the tires completely flat. Took it to Goodyear and they said mud got inside the tire and caused the air to leak out. They proceeded to tell me that the 2010 Laramie wheels were manufactured in a way that they do not hold the bead very well, and encouraged me to air them to 45+ PSI!

Now a couple months later out of the blue I get the PSI dropping on one tire then another a day or two later.

Has anyone experienced problems with holding the bead with these tires? Or any tires really I am trying to determine if it is wheel specific or tire specific?

I'm sure someone will ask if I lowered the PSI to go mudding as that is what Goodyear was saying but the answer is no, I just went to my deer blind and back and it was muddy under the ice.

 

I ran through a set of SilentArmors on my 2003 and never had an issue. Including taking them to hunting camp in upstate NY in November. Never an issue. I ran them at stock pressures. Never really heard anyone else complaining about the wheel design either as far that goes. I'm due for a new set of tires this spring and they are one of the ones I'm considering. Now that I have snows for winter I don't need the AT so I'm still debating.

 

I would like to know if any tires have had trouble holding a bead with these wheels.

 

First I notice you have no valve stem cover , also I would suspect that when your tires were changed the tech guy didn't clean the inside of the rim properly .

 

same wheels, no problems with either set of tires. I'd go back and ask them to make it right. If they give you the same answer ask for documentation of the "wheel manufacturing issues".

 

I had a set on my 04 and my dad has a set on his 09 right now with the same rims as yours with no problems.

 

I would guess its your rims not tires. I had the same problem with my Coopers this winter but only on the front? I had to keep about 60 PSI in the tires so they would stay inflated on really cold winter days. Never had a problem on back so I am guessing that the weight of the motor had something to do with it.

 

Stiram do you have the same wheels as mine?

 

I have the Silent Armor on my old 09 Ram that have those type of rims, and have yet to experience any problems.
Just went through third winter with them with temps going down to -50 degree.
I try to keep the inflation at 40 PSI, but never experience any deflation issue.
I would have support that tires were not installed proper.

 

Is all that sidewall damage from driving on them deflated, or curbs?
