Narrative:
Aircraft was schedule for routine overnight check. During routine checks, nose tires were found to be worn to limits and required replacement. I replaced nose tires from the svcable tire carts and signed off as required. I was notified about the problem and understood that bias tires are not supposed to be in stock.
