FOR TRACTION TIRES TO WORK AND FIT WITHOUT SLIPPING THEY HAVE TO FIT THE WHEEL TIGHTLY AND THAT MEANS THE TIRE DIAMETER IS SMALLER THAN THE WHEEL DIAMETER AND JUST LIKE TIRES ON AN AUTOMOBILE THEY HAVE TO BE STRETCHED AROUND THE WHEEL DURING INSTALLATION AND DONE SO WITH OUT KINKING THE TIRES AND THE TIRES NEED TO LAY FLAT IN THE WHEEL GROOVE.
