## Discrepancy

#1 TIRE SEPARATED ON LANDING. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH GOODYEAR PN 226K08-4.  DUE TO CONTINUED ISSUES WITH THESE TIRES FAILING, WE KEEP A DAILY LOG OF CONDITIONS AND PRESSURES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.  THIS TIRE JUST HAPPENS TO HAVE BEEN CHECKED PRIOR TO DEPARTING PFAI FOR KSLC DUE TO THE #2 TIRE DEVELOPING A BULGE IN THE SIDEWALL.   PRESSURE AND CONDITION WAS GOOD.  THE FAILURE OF THE TIRE WAS THE ENTIRE TREAD AND SIDEWALL COMING OFF AND GETTING STUCK AGAINST THE STRUT.  THE #2 HAD TO BE CHANGED DUE TO ROLLING WITH ONE FLAT PER THE AMM AS WELL AS INSPECTION OF THE MLG FOR ANY DAMAGE.  #1 AND #2 WHEEL/TIRE ASSEMBLIES WERE REPLACED WITH OH UNITS AND AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
