What was wrong

Defect

THE TIRES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH TIRE MARKING REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 119, "NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES FOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS". THE ACTUAL LOAD RANGE OF THE TIRES IS LESS THAN THAT MARKED ON THE TIRES. THIS CAN LEAD TO TIRE OVERLOADING AND, POSSIBLY, TIRE FAILURE.

Manufacturer remedy

TIRES WILL BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE IF RETURNED WITHIN 60 DAYS OF OWNER NOTIFICATION.
