## Discrepancy

THIS AIRCRAFT HAS CLEVELAND BRAKES INSTALLED.  THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE TIRE SIDEWALL AND BRAKE IN MINIMAL.  WHEN THE SIDEWALL FLEXES DURING LANDING IT CONTACTS THE BRAKE CAUSING A 360 DEGREE GROVE IN THE TIRE SIDEWALL.  THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO OCCUR WITH OTHER TIRE MANUFACTURES, ONLY WITH GOODYEAR FLIGHT CUSTOM II.
