Narrative:
Removed and replaced nose landing wheel assembly. Replaced correct wheel part number. At a later date; found wrong tire part number installed on the wheel. Researched work order; found tire part number was for a 560 ultra and not a 560XL. Since this occurrence; we have removed from service all manufacturer X tires for cessna nose landing gear wheel assemblies and replaced with manufacturer Y tires; to prevent this from happening in the future.
