## Discrepancy

PROBLEM FOUND DURING NORMAL WORN TIRE REPLACEMENT.  CORD (WIRE LIKE MATERIAL) WAS NOT DEEP ENOUGH IN THE RUBBER OF THE TIRE SEAT AREA WHICH LEFT A GROOVE (MIRROR IMAGE OF THE CORD) IN THE NR 3 MAIN WHEEL RIMS (INNER AND OUTER HALVES).  THE GROOVES COVERED MORE THAN HALF THE DIAMETER OF THE OF THE WHEEL RIMS TO A MAX DEPTH OF JUST UNDER .020 INCH.  BECAUSE OF THE LENGTH OF THE GROOVES, THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. (WHEEL P/N 101-8001-47)
