THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 119, "NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES FOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS."
The risk
THIS CONDITION COULD AFFECT THE LONG TERM SERVICE LIFE OF THE TIRE.
The remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THESE TIRES AND REPLACE, MOUNT AND BALANCE THE NEW TIRE AT NO CHARGE.
