## Discrepancy

(CAN) RT INBOARD WHEEL WAS REMOVED FOR A ROUTINE TIRE CHANGE. UPON DISASSEMBLY IT WAS NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A 4 - 5 INCH CRACK IN THE BEAD AREA. THE RIM WAS BENT AND DEFORMED IN THIS AREA. THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS OF A STRIKE WITH A GROUND OBJECT YET THE CRACK / DEFORMATION IS QUITE OUT OF THE NORMAL. THE ADJACENT TIRE ASSEMBLY WAS REMOVED AND INSPECTED WITH NO FINDINGS.
