Condition / Concern
Slight sidewall indentations are a common characteristic of radial tire construction. These indentations are more noticeable on larger size tires having a larger side wall height. Radial tire body construction includes individual cords that run parallel to each other from bead to bead (down the sidewall, across the tread and up the other sidewall). These cords will overlap at points on the circumference of the tire. When the tire is mounted and inflated, it is free to naturally expand. The overlapped areas may create slight indentations, undulations, or protrusions since the stretching capacity of the overlapped area is slightly different than the rest of tire sidewall area.
