Warp tyres, is it safe?

[kiwifruit]

Brought some maxxis high roller a couple months ago to replace the continentals and fitted as tubeless. Once fitted the back tyre wobble side to side when you spin the wheel, I thought the rim need re-turning and took it to a mechanic that I know. He said the rim is fine, he took the tyre off and reseated it again and it still wobble so he think is warped. Left it for a few weeks and I have swap the front tyre to the back and vice verse. Now back tyre is fine and front wobble a bit from side to side. Just wonder if is safe to ride?

Maybe you have mounted the tyres in the wrong direction.

Mounted in correct direction😀

Was it like that from new, or has it been ruptured?

Make sure it's seated properly - inflate fully to max psi - which will reseat the bead - and then release pressure down to your desired amount again. If it still wobbles then there's something else wrong.

Yes it was like that from new, lost the receipt as brought it a couple month’s ago and I have also been out on it to test it out.

Yes it is seated properly, I have fully inflate to the max of 60 psi and left it over night and release the pressure the next day. It still wobble but not as bad.

If you look at the tyre just above the rim you will see a constant line on the tyre, about 5mm up from the rim.

Rotate the wheel and observe this line.
If that moves up and down then the tyre is most likely sitting on the rim tape ect.
Resetting the rim tape or tube less kit will sort it.
Unless you have solid rims.

I will check, If it sitting on the rim tape will I have to reseat it again or put new rim tape?

Is just a bit usual as it was the back tyre, and now I swap it to the front. The back is fine now but front wobble a bit.

It may be a distorted tyre.
Or it has a thick bit at the bead " bit that seats on the rim" I'd not worry too much if it's just a small wobble.

Quite common on tyres due to the way they are made.
It may settle after a few rides

just checked the tyres again all seated correctly and pointed in the correct direction, hope it will be fine after a few more rides.

It is a very common problem, especially with larger tyres. Just ride it. If it irritates you, put it on the back where you can't see it.

Tyres aren't perfect and if you see the manufacturing process, you'll understand why.

It isn't an issue. Go for a ride and drink a beer.
