I have just purchased Michellin folder tyres. the edge bead has
little inpurfections where it was folded. Is this ok? If these tyres
are so good and expensive, why would the quality be risked by folding
them? Cheaper ones are not folded...???

spin the wheel to ensure the molded lip just above the brake surface is
visible evenly all around before fully inflating.
Yes, for any two tires of the same model, a folding bead version is
lighter and more expensive.
