## Discrepancy

POST FLIGHT INSPECTION REVEALED A SECTION OF TREAD MISSING FROM THE LEFT INBOARD TIRE.  THE MISSING TREAD WAS A STRIP MEASURING APPROXIMATELY 2 X 16 INCHES.  IT IS ASSUMED THAT THE TREAD SEPARATED DURING LANDING SINCE THE PRE FLIGHT INSPECTION REVEALED NO DAMAGE AND TAXI AND TAKEOFF SEEMED NORMAL. THE TIRE THAT EXPERIENCED THE TREAD SEPARATION WAS A RE-CAPPED TIRE.
