Spin the wheel and make sure that the sprocket rides centered in the chain. That's the end goal.
And tires do not have an oily coating on them.

Alright will check the sprocket.And I figured they didn't,I personally think I'm just new to the bike and tires and I need to get used to 'em.
Plus,I wanted to learn how to do all maintenance myself,it's fun and I'll know what all happens with my bike so I have no one to blame.
