Got a Blackburn tire at Walmart as a temporary until I'm able to order a better tire. They sell theirs folded up in boxes. How do tires arrive at bike stores? Do they arrive round or folded up like this? When I ordered Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires they were shipped round in a large envelope, when I got tires from a Trek store they were in round form. I don't think either of those tires *would* fold up, or maybe I'm wrong on that.
Is it simply a function of Walmart selling cheaper, flimsy tires and I'd better have my affairs in order if I plan on actually riding on it?
