## Discrepancy

AFTER LANDING PILOT DISCOVERED RT TIRE WAS FLAT.  TIRE WAS REMOVED AND DISSASSEMBLED AND LARGE SPLIT FOUND IN TUBE (THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF PUNCTURE). THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENNING TOO OFTEN LATELY WITH THIS SIZE OF TIRE TUBE. IN MY OPINION THE TUBE IS MADE TOO SMALL FOR THE SIZE OF TIRE AND IT HAS TO EXPAND TOO MUCH TO MEET THE SIZE OF THE TIRE. ALL MFG SEEM TO MAKE THEM THE SAME.
