Bought truck brand new in 2019. Around 16-17,000 miles, I had to replace both front tires, the steel belt had shifted inside the tire causing a bulge and making the vehicle vibrate severly while transporting 3 horses (Approximate trailer w/ horse weight = 14000lbs). I brought back to the dealership, replaced with the same brand as I was unaware of these issues.

Front passenger side tire had large ballon form on inside sidewall causing uneven rolling. LT 235/80/17. Luckily I wasnt hauling my 5th wheel Toyhauler when this developed I imagine the rest of the tires on the vehicle are faulty as well.
