This tire is a type of bias ply tire, which means that its internal construction and size may cause it to appear deformed. Smaller bias ply tires do not have reinforced structures that can prevent deformation. When these tires are deflated or improperly inflated, they may fold in on themselves. It is important to note that this is a normal occurrence and not a sign of damage or a problem with the tire's construction. To prevent deformation, the tire should be mounted and inflated to the recommended 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 can maintain its ideal shape, ensuring safety and durability. It is important to understand that the photo provided is not a depiction of the specific tire model, size, tread pattern, or application. Instead, it serves as a representation of the potential deformation that can occur with bias ply tires.
