## Discrepancy

WHEEL S/N 1625 WAS REMOVED FROM AIRCRAFT 268CA, TIRE WAS WORN TO LIMITS.  UPON CLEANING THE OUTER WHEEL HALF, FOUND AN AREA THAT LOOKED PITTED AND SOME CORROSION. THE PAINT WAS REMOVED FROM THE AREA IN QUESTION AND CHECKED BY EDDY CURRENT METHOD, THIS VERIFIED THE CRACK.  REMOVED WHEEL OUT OF SERVICE AND SENT TO CVG TIRE SHOP FOR DETAIL INSPECTION OF AREA.
