What was found

IT APPEARS THAT THE TIRE WAS DAMAGED IN THE MOLDING PROCESS. THERE ARE 2 INJURIES IN THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRE ALMOST DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM EACH OTHER. AIR ESCAPES FROM THE TIRE VERY SLOWLY UNTIL THE WEIGHT OF THE AC IS PLACED ON IT, EVEN THEN YOU HAVE TO LISTEN CLOSELY TO HEAR THE AIR ESCAPING. (K)
