## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING A SPECIAL INSPECT TO THE MAIN AND NOSE WHEEL ASSEMBLIES, DEFECTS WERE NOTED IN THE TIRE-TUBES INSTALLED INTO BOTH MAIN AND THE NOSE WHEELS. REPORTS HAVE BEEN MADE OF TIRE-TUBES FAILING WITH VERY LOW TIME. AFTER RECEIVING THESE REPORTS AN INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED ON ALL 3 WHEEL ASSEMBLIES ON 2 AIRCRAFT ALL TIRE-TUBES INSPECTED WERE DEFECTIVE, SHOWING THE SAME DEFECTS AS REPORTED. PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE REPORTED TIRE-TUBES FAILURES ARE ATTACHED TO THIS SDR. THE TUBES INSPECTED ARE IDENTICAL IN APPEARANCE. SEVERAL TUBES P/N 5.00-5 TR 67 AND 30200530001110 HAVE BEEN FOUND WITH SIMILAR DISCREPANCIES (TC NR 20071102004)
