pictured is an improper tube that inflated before the tire gripped wheel.

What you should do is inflate the tube to about 15 psi first. Then massage the tire with your hands to flatten any creases or folds. Do this and it will be correct when you inflate it to ideal psi written on tire.

This is not only cost effective but also less wasteful compared to getting a new tube.
