Default ITP Holeshot MXR6 Problems?? Anyone seen this before??

I just put on a new set of rear Holeshot MXR6's and I'm not happy at all with them. When aired up with equal pressures the right tire looks like it has way too much air and is extremely rounded while the left one looks like its low on air and isn't quite flat across the top of the tire when you look at it. Its really messed up and I wonder how that can happen. I bought them from RM ATV so I'm hoping they will take care of the problem as I have sent them pics already. Definitely not good quality control from ITP, in my opinion. Anyone else seen this??

Post some pics. Were the tires smashed and folded when you got them? I bought a set of paddles that were folded weird when I got them and one was lopsided when inflated.

That is odd...... As the previous poster indicated maybe they were folded or stacked weird. I've seen car tires that were at the bottom of the stack come out looking like they have a ridge running down the center of the tread.

I wonder if maybe they marked the size wrong or something......

Definitely not different models or sizes, looks like a manufacturer's defect to me. We'll see what happens.... pics....

damn that is weird, and you have checked to make sure there both exactly the same size,model and everything? only thing i can think of is its a defective from factory or either it was warped from being in storage for to long or something.

Just to let everyone know, Rocky Mountain ATV is making it right by sending me a new tire. Good company to deal with. Just an unfortunate thing. According to them, there is something definitely wrong with the right rear tire.

At first I had some issues with these tires. The first day I had them I got a flat, but it seemed like I didn't have enought air in the tire so the bead must have let the air out. I haven't had a problem since but I heard that people were having issues with leaking and stuff. Not really sure if your issue is a common problem though.
