warped space-saver spare ?

Guys,

I just went to use my space-saver spare the other day when I had a flat. Amazingly the cannister was gassed up and when I inflated the spare it unfolded - but in what a pretty weird fashion.

Once inflated it looked all deformed and as if one of the sidewalls was going to be in contact with the road - certainly not like a "centred" tyre on a rim. How is this fold-up tyre supposed to look when fuuly inflated - like a normal tyre or off-centre from the rim ?

I ended up using the cannister to inflate my flat to get home - I didn't like the look of the spare.


cheers
