## Discrepancy

TIRES WERE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT HOLD AIR.  INSPECTION REVEALED DILATING HOLES ALLOWING AIR LOSS TO CONTINUE AFTER SEVERAL DAYS.  LEAKAGE BECAME WORSE TO THE POINT RE-INFLATION WAS NEEDED AFTER EACH FLIGHT.  HIGH RISK OF LANDING WITH FLAT TIRE ON TRIP OVER 2 HOURS.  MICHELIN NOTIFIED.  DILATING HOLES ARE MARKED WITH GREEN, BUT NOT ALL HOLES LEAKED.
