Alright...My tyre has gone out of shape in the sun and is rubbing slightly on the forks. Any tips to get it back into shape?

maybe bead's just fallen off the rim shoulder - does it look evenly seated all round on both sides ?

I had one that wouldn't even hold on the rim* because of a deformed sidweall
Plenty others said same had happened to them
(*was from new mind, not after it got warm)

Well i've taken a load of air out of it...hung it on the workstand and put it in the shade in the hope that it might contract back into shape.
