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.

      Mantel.

      ”Der Mantel ist der äußere, robuste Teil des Fahrradreifens”
      https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrradbereifung

      I would translate that as:
      ”The mantle is the outer, robust part of the bicycle tire“

      But honestly, I don’t get a lot of hits when I google for that even in German. Seems like a case where it’s a very technical term that only a few people insist is correct. And everyone else just calls that the tire (Reifen). Just happens that the page I used to learn about the sizes of things I can buy for my wheels used “mantle”.
