## Discrepancy

(CAN) TIRE WAS LOOSING AIR PRESSURE, ON INVESTIGATION IT WAS NOTED THAT THE AIR WAS LEAKING FROM HOLES THAT ARE LOCATED JUST UP FROM THE BEAD/SEAT AREA, APPARENTLY TO VENT AIR FROM BETWEEN THE LAYERS OF THE RUBBER.  THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT WE HAVE CHANGED A MFG TIRE FOR THIS REASON.
