## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT BEGAN TO SHAKE WHILE TAXIING, FELT LIKE SOMEONE WAS TAPPING ON THE RIGHT BRAKE PEDAL.  FLANGE AT THE BEAD CRACKED (ABOUT 5 INCHES LONG) AND WAS CATCHING ON BRAKE CALIPER.  NO KNOWN HARD LANDINGS.  POSSIBLE CAUSE:  WHEEL TOO SMALL FOR AIRCRAFT.  CORROSION AND STRESS FROM 8 PLY TIRE AND 55 PSI AIR PRESSURE.  SAVING THE PART.
