PLEASE NOTE, THESE ALTERNATIVE DEFORM TO FIT TYRES, ARE STRETCHED OVER THE WHEEL, THEN FLIPPED INTO THE CHANNEL ON THE WHEEL TO FIT.  THE SUPPLIED SHAPE IS MUCH LIKE A WASHER.  ONCE SEATED PROPERLY THEY PRESENT JUST AS A RING SHAPED ORIGINAL TYPE TYRE.   AS A RESULT THESE TYRES ARE SMALLER THAN THE DIAMETERS QUOTED, TO ENSURE A SNUG FIT.   IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THIS PRINCIPLE, DO NOT PURCHASE.  THE SIZES QUOTED ARE THE WHEEL DIAMETER NOT INCLUDING THE FLANGE, THE ACTUAL TYRE SIZES ARE SMALLER BEFORE STRETCHING & DEFORMING TO FIT INTO THE CHANNEL, JUST TO CLEAR ANY CONFUSION!
