Narrative:
On wed/apr/03 I changed both nose tires. I changed #2 first and when I was changing #1 the nose tire I had, had no serviceable tag. I went and pulled a tire from the 300 nose tire slot. I installed the tire and did not notice it was a 700 nose tire, next time I will pay more attention. The problem was caught in a paperwork audit.
