A few weeks ago I bought NOS Suomi (Nokian) W240, they arrived with a bit of bend in dire bead, I mounted them hoping that they will straighten themselves. Not ridden yet, but I have demounted them and looks like wire goes out, like pictured - when touching it is sharp. Can this tyre be used? Will it cause punctures? Should I bin it or is there any way to fix this?
