Default Out of round 589s

My son and I just put new IPT 589s on our Polaris Sportsmen (500HO, 700). One of his tires was out of round and had to be returned for replacement. I now have my tires mounted and have two that are so bad out of round that riding at 30MPH is very uncomfortable, any faster becomes dangerous. I will be returning them for replacement. Has anyone else experienced this problem with IPT tires. Three bad tires out of eight is unacceptable. Quality control by IPT is obviously very poor......Trapperg

I got Maxxis Sur-traks on my Wolverine now and I noticed a little wobble at higer speeds. It gets better as the tires warm up and when your accelerating you dont feel it as much. no problems off the pavement
