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?

Here’s a vodeo and some pictures
