No, it does not. Try it!
Due to the fabric bias, a tubular minor diameter shrinks
radically when pressurized (which makes it tight on the rim
in normal use). In midair, they make something close to an
infinity symbol or figure 8 as the minor diameter is reduced.
Ahhh, that resolves my confusion. I didn't realize the tire would
twist as the casing plies tensioned.
Thank you very much!
