## Discrepancy

FOUND THE 5.00-5 NOSE TIRE TO HAVE A VERY SLOW LEAK. REMOVED TUBE AND FOUND IT TO BE LEAKING OUT OF SEVERAL ESTREMELY SMALL PIN HOLES WHERE THE VALVE STEM RUBBER IS BONDED TO THE TUBE. A BRAND NEW REPLACEMENT TUBE WAS FOUND TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM RIGHT OUT OF THE BAG. A THIRD REPLACEMENT TUBE TESTED SATISFACTORY.
