I ordered two new tires, or mantles I believe is what they’re called. One looked fine and I mounted it on my bike. The other one looks quite warped. It’s not soft but rather pretty sturdy, so I worry it wont sit correctly if I try to install it.

I’m a newb to this, first time I even changed a tube by myself. So let me know if I need to add more information.

Thanks!

Edit: thanks everyone! I’ll give it a try tomorrow.

    It’ll be fine. Just put it on and inflate to a high pressure, that will push it back into shape within a few days.

    Just fitted a pair of new tyres on my bike as well. Previous set was so far worn out, the thread was completely gone. The sidewall had a tear that made the inside have a nasty bump. I’ve been using Schwalbe Spicer Plus for years now, excellent tyres. Schwalbe is a good brand.
