Yes, it deflates to exactly the same size on its own if there is no pressure in the tire. Nothing is stretched out permanently as far as I can tell. I have never actually used mine but have inflated it several times to demonstrate it to unbelievers.
In the video attached above, the person on there says it deflates to exactly the same shape as it was before.I checked for @travisketchum 's response in the comments in 1the video. He's saying it will be "difficult" to get it back into shape to fit back under the floor. If true - that's enough not to bother with buying one. My insurance will cover the costs of road service cheaper than spending $800 on a use once then it's an annoyance tire.
In that video deflates the spare for an R1. Now - is R2's different? Dunno. I'd prefer to think that video is correct. Here's one area the manual doesn't address.
Neither have I....
But no such disclaimer made. Influencer heard it somewhere. Repeated without verifying. They’re just someone with a platform and following. No credentials or proof in expertise. Followers need not follow blindly.
It’s not true, I have one on my R1S and it has been used twice, goes right back to original size and shape And fits like always in its spot.I checked for @travisketchum 's response in the comments in 1the video.
