Default Ordered Tires for ATV but came warped...

Howdy all, I have a problem.. Or rather my husband does. He ordered some tires for his quad (off the top of my head I don't know what kind it is, sorry) not that long ago and they just came in the mail yesterday. I had noticed they were warped, the rear tires are caved in in the middle all the way around, which my husband said might be okay, but the front tired are.. bad. He said he is having trouble mounting them and would take them somewhere to see if they can mount them. I was just wondering if the warped tires are a problem and we'll have to get new ones or if we can go ahead and still put them on? Just to be sure, it's the rubber part of the wheel. I haven't found anything online as the the rubber being warped, only the wheel. Any heal would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I've seen warped tires that were hard to mount but once they were on they were okay. Good luck.

X2 on what Jumbo said. ATV tires are very difficult to mount. I also think that once they are mounted they'll probably be okay.

They are likely fine. The soft atv sidewalls deform easily, but will go back into shape once mounted and aired up just fine. They are hard to mount.
