## Discrepancy

THIS MICHELIN TIRE WAS MOUNTED ON THE LEFT INBOARD SIDE (NR 2).  CUPPING WAS NOTICED ON THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE TIRE ALL THE WAY AROUND.  TIRE WAS REPLACED, THEN CONTACTED FALCON TECH OPS.  THIS HAD HAPPENED ON ANOTHER TIRE BUT DIFFERENT PART NUMBER (OMB NR 2120-0003).  THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS ITEM AND ASKED ME TO CONTACT THE TIRE MANUFACTURE.  I THEN CONTACTED MICHELIN.  THEY CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM AND SAID THEY WERE WORKING ON IT.
