For what its worth nearly every Maxxis tire I've used in the past few years has been wonky to various degrees.
Have 2.3" minion dhf/r's on my trails bike and both tires have a section where the shoulder tread seems out of alignment and makes it look like the wheel is buckled or the tire isn't seated.
Have a set of 2.4/2.5 minions in heavier casing that have the same issue but much worse than the 2.3's.
Maybe maxxis have had this issue longer than I remember but back in the day I religiously used Maxxis High Rollers on dh bike and went through a lot of them. I don't remember ever seeing this issue back then. Seems to have been more of an issue in past 5 or so years. I dont understand how the issue still seems to persist.I use Schwalbe Magic Mary's front and rear all year round on my gnarly bikes and will move to Schwalbe tires for the trail bike when the Maxxis ones wear out.

My rear 2.3" High Roller is so wonky that it rubs the frame - which is supposed to clear a 2.6"...
It is a 2? year old tyre by now and I don't recall it being wonky before. Could be user error but they were seated correctly. Odd.
@Dogs did you like those WTBs then? Seem reasonably priced on CRC at the moment.
