You know how they fold tires to fit it in shipping box.
Does this bending damage tires? Due to bends rim reinforcing is kind a
broken where bend.
Any comments?

If they are folding tyres, they won't come to any harm.
I buy tyres online from Wiggle, and if they aren't folding tyres then they
ship them in a big box like wheels come in.
No problem.

Haven't tried buying tires though - I yawn enough already.

Yeah, could you translate that into English for me?

I've bought Kevlar-bead WTB tires from both the LBS and on-line.
Since they come from WTB in a little 4"x4"x4" box, and get shipped
from wherever they are made, I doubt an extra trip via UPS will do
them any more damage.

In other words, my Kevlar-beaded tires turned out just fine. Wire
bead? I dunno if they can get damaged or not.

If that answered your question, great. If it didn't, my apologies.

Writing to newsgroups I'm just trying to get some information and improve my
english skills as well.
Not for all english is a 1st language🙂
So what sentense youd didn't understand? Perhabs all of it?

Most wire bead tires can be folded into a figure 8 and the larger ones (26"😉
can be folded over. If I order 1-2 tires from a vendor, that's usually how
they come. More than that, they're shipped flat in an appropriate box.

Like the others said, if you order kevlar beaded tires, then there are no
worries, they are indeed "folding" tires.
