Is there any need to trim this excess molding flash from the rim of these tyres?
Cheap tyres for a cheap bike, running butyl inner tubes.
I'm guessing "don't bother", but wondered if there was any chance of it getting bunched up and rubbing the tube? But then, it's just thin rubber against rubber, like the whole tube against tyre … 🤔

@isol I'd probably take the time to trim these. Also I wanted to share my own cheap tire photo with you. https://pixelfed.social/p/onedayfishsale/1005774170331014

@isol I reckon you could just make sure the tube is pushed up and sits on top of those flaps. Definitely trickier to fit though.
