44/56 isn't bad at all. And 2919# total isn't but ~150-200#more than stock. A turbo kit, oil cooler, etc. will quickly add up to that weight, plus it's usually way out front.

I'd get it replaced - too close to sidewall. If you have tire road hazard warranty, then perhaps push to have the tire replaced.
