What is wrong
Trans Texas Tire (TTT) is recalling certain Contender 5.70-8 tires sold exclusively through Discount Tire stores. The tire sidewalls are incorrectly labeled, in that each side of the tire may state different PLY and PSI markings. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 574, "Tire Identification & Recordkeeping."
What can happen
The incorrect PLY and PSI markings may result in underinflating or overloading the tires, increasing the risk of crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
TTT will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tires with tires that have the correct sidewall markings, free of charge. The recall began May 2, 2019. Owners may contact Trans Texas Tire customer service at 1-903-572-0267.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
