Achieva Rubber Corp. is recalling certain Innova Ultra Runner tires sizes 5.30-12 in 6-ply and 4.80-12 in 4-ply with the date code rage of 0114 through 3917, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 119, “New Pneumatic Tires – Other Than Passenger Cars.” If the tires fail to meet the strength test requirements, the tire may fail, increasing the risk of a crash.

Achieva will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected tires with new tires, free of charge, the NHTSA recall notice says. The recall is expected to begin Aug. 6. Owners may contact Achieva customer service at 1-310-328-8868.

Nestled in between a thick wooded forest and a beautiful 13-acre lake in Ohio’s Mahoning County is a small farm and homestead. It’s unassuming, really. The kind of place you might pass right by without noticing on your way from here to there.

A little over a century-and-a-half ago, it was the birthplace of the man who would fundamentally change American agriculture forever, but today, that small farm is home to test tracks and testing facilities designed to put tomorrow’s farm tires to the test. To push the limits of what’s possible, pioneering the latest technology that allows farm tires to go where they never have before. To stand strong in the fields and ride soft on the roads. To tread lightly over soil and roots, while translating ever-increasing horsepower to traction in the fields.
