This tire is a bias ply tire that may appear deformed due to its internal construction and size. Smaller bias ply tires lack reinforced structures that can prevent deformation. The bias construction and non-reinforced internal structure of small tires cause them to fold in when deflated or not properly inflated. It's important to note that this is not a result of constructional damage or a problem, but rather a normal occurrence with these types of tires. To address this, the tire should be mounted and inflated to the correct PSI, or an inner tube may need to be added in some cases. By maintaining the proper PSI and using an inner tube, the tire can maintain its ideal shape and prevent the bias plies from appearing deformed. This ensures the tire's performance, safety, and durability. Please be aware that the photo provided is a representation of possible tire deformation and does not depict the specific model, size, tread pattern, or application. Additionally, it's worth noting that this specific tire model has a bias ply construction and is classified as a Tubed Type Tire (TT), which necessitates the use of an inner tube for proper functionality. However, please be aware that this purchase does not include the inner tube or flaps.
