Tire ovalled during shipment?

    Tire ovalled during shipment?

    So I bought a tire from RockymountainATV, and they when wrapping it in saran wrap, formed it a bit into an oval. I called and they told me to unwrap it asap, and it should be ok since it has only been wrapped for 2 days. What are your thoughts great NESR brain trust?

    Put air in it and it will go back to its proper shape.

    Unwrap it, and maybe put it in the sun tomorrow. Then mount and ride.

    If all else fails, I have an oval wheel you can mount it on.

    Oval isn't good, but better than square.
