Hi everyone, using the two bead lines as reference, one side is consistently high while another remains low. My wheel is trued, and I’ve tried the soap trick while fully reinflating it to make sure it’s even.
But I can’t keep these deformities from coming back. Is it likely that my inner tube is just not perfectly circular?
It’s probably not the tire, right?
Thanks in advance !

An inner tube’s whole job is to deform. Is it too big? Have you tried slight over inflation with the soap trick? I’m assuming you’ve tried to manhandle it and grip it with all your strength to even it out…
Probably not best practice but I’ve had success with using the soapy water method and wedging in some tire levers to the low spots. When you work them out with the tire mostly inflated the bead usually pops into place. Could take a few tries. It has only happened to me with tires that have been shipped in a way that deforms them a bit so my guess would be the tire is the issue and not the tube.
Are you asking about the bead being slightly higher on one side than the other as compared to the thread pattern? Yes, that’s molded into the tire, why do you think it’s a problem though?
