Just bought some tires off ebay. Got an email from the seller saying that in order to save on the shipping he "had" to fold the tires!

I have never folded a wire beaded tire. What happens to them when they have been folded?

In my opinion eather nothing or they might be more proned to tearing at the folded areas.

He just rolled them up in a figure 8 pattern.

if the dude folded the wire bead tire like sanjuro mentioned, it will be ok. We figure 8 fold our DH/FR tires we ship to team riders all the time without a single kink.
