Guten Abend.
I don't understand that. It is clear that a tiny little bump is created at the point where the tire has the heaviest weight. To put it in an exaggerated way, the tire forms an oval.
My logical thinking would suggest that the beads would collect there on the outside in the curve of the bump. Because that is where the circumferential speed is highest and where gravity then drives the beads.
Where is my thinking wrong, please?
