## Discrepancy

(CAN) SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, 2013, WE HAVE HAD 2 ACFT NOSE TIRES LOSE AIR WHILE TAXIING.  A RECENT SHIPMENT OF NOSE TIRE TUBES WERE FOUND TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT MANUFACTURING DEFECTS IN THE ENTIRE ORDER, 7 EA.  MAINTENANCE DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE INSTALLING THEM ON THE ACFT.
