This tire is a bias ply tire, which means its internal construction and size may cause it to appear deformed. Smaller bias ply tires lack reinforced structures that can prevent them from deforming. When deflated or not properly inflated, the bias construction and non-reinforced internal structure allow the tire to fold in. It's important to note that this is a normal occurrence and not constructional damage or an issue. To address this, the tire should be mounted and inflated to the proper PSI. In some cases, adding an inner tube may also be necessary. By maintaining the proper PSI and using an inner tube when needed, the tire's ideal shape can be preserved, ensuring its safety and durability.
