Narrative:
I received job for tire change on #2 tire on aircraft. I checked out tire and equipment to change tire from parts. I reviewed paperwork and thought everything was in order. Me and another mechanic went to aircraft and changed tire in accordance with company maintenance work card #32-700-11. We then called the aircraft A-1 and turned in paperwork we realized the tire ahd not been received. I called the tower and stopped the aircraft from taking off. I then contacted the receiving inspector and he/she verified the paperwork and signed the receiving inspection. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated that reporter and reporter's partner went to stores and took a supposedly svcable tire and wheel assembly to the airplane and replaced the #2 main tire and wheel assembly. Only when filing out the paperwork was it discovered the wheel and tire assembly did not have the required receiving inspection. The airplane was still on the ground and was called back for the inspection. Departed shortly after the inspection.
