A mechanic notes apparent damage original to a freshly mounted new tire. Specific descriptions are not provided, nor the type of aircraft. “It appears the tire was damaged in the molding process. There are two injuries in the sidewalls of the tire, almost directly across from each other. Air escapes from the tire very slowly, until the aircraft weight is placed on it. Even then, you have to listen closely to hear the air escaping.”

(A very similar report for this particular tire can be found in the
SDRS data base.)
