Summary

Trans Texas Tire (TTT) is recalling certain Contender 5.70-8 tires sold exclusively through Discount Tire stores.

Remedy

TTT will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tires with tires that have the correct sidewall markings, free of charge. Owners may contact Trans Texas Tire customer service at 1-903-572-0267.
