Maxxis seems to get out of true, but it usually takes me 4 to 6 months to get them really wobbly, but many were slightly twisted when new. But I do do wha tyou did. But eventually all of my Maxxis tyres got wobbly. But I am on Michelin Wild Enduro now, they stayed true. Also thread pattern matched left to right, Maxxis all were between 2 and 4 mm offset. Also bead failed at the end, I swapped before it blew, good I inspect, and look for bad things, but the Michelin's bead might even run another season, if it was not for the knobs being worn, and cut in sidewall and cracks everywhere, including sidewall. But they outlasted the Maxxis bead. So I am keen to see how the Wild Enduro Race will do.
