Hoping for some help with this. I have a slight inward bulge in my tire on both sides of the valve. Wondering if this can and should be fixed, and how? Or is it new tire time?

Deflate, remove the screw-on ring, push the valve deep into the tyre, do NOT install the ring, inflate, screw the ring gently on.
Remove the metal ring and plastic top. It literally does nothing and looks cooler without
Tube is pinched between tire and rim right there.
You need to deflate it and push the valve in, the tube is pinched or restricted around the valve. Then pull the valve back out and inflate again.
Your inner tube overlaps by the valve, making it twice as thick. This means it’s stiffer there and will bulge less for same pressure.
It’s most noticeable if running a cheap thick butyl inner tube with a lightweight/thin casing tire – running a latex or TPU tube will be less so but still technically present.

Tubes are too small in circumference and overflated
