I put a new tire on my rear wheel and it was the tightest fitting tire I’ve ever seen. Extremely hard to wrestle on there but I eventually got it. Now, though, it’s not quite seated right all the way around. There’s about a 3-spoke length just on the one side where the little textured edge, instead of peaking out from behind the rim, dives down a bit behind it. Is this a problem worth fixing or should I just ride on it? Will it eventually fix itself? Otherwise, what do I do to fox it?

Did you smash the tire into the ground after getting it on? Usually that fixes things, but riding would also fix it. Least that’s what I would do considering how hard it was to get on.
I did not smash but I’ve already ridden. About 5 miles to work this morning and 5 back this afternoon. Problem persists. I can try smashing
try to give some lateral smash too. Kind of want the tire to move up or down the rim not into it.
*Could also be just a funky tire.
Yeah, the problem is that it’s such a tight tire, it wants to sit down in the well of the rim where the radius is smaller rather than up on the edge of the rim where it’s supposed to be
