I just bought and put on new 20-11-10 rear kenda klaws. Once they were on, I went to try them out. About third gear the quad shook like crazy!!
I have now had them on for a week and rode 3 or 4 times, hasnt got any better. I thought they might come out of it. Thought they were like this from shipping, but I would have thought they would have by now!....Any input on what to do?

You didn't happen to get any water in the tire before you mounted them, did you?

The only water that was near them when being installed was soapy water for the bead, and that was very minimal. I dont think the little of water we used would do it.

Can you see any of the wheels wobbling?

nope, no wobbling and no bent rim. It was just fine with the razrs I had on it before.:ermm:

Well either you over inflated them and the tire stretched/bands ripped inside tire when mounting them or they were made wrong and are defective.

Ive actually done that one time to a tire. Had to get a new one.

when you go to seal the bead they pump the tire up pretty dang high so it will seal. If you leave that pressure in to long it will probally be like a football over inflated it will get buldges and never go back to its original form.

Try breaking the bead down, rotate the tire 180*, and air it back up. No tire or wheel is perfect and will have one side heavier then the other. If they happen to line up, can cause a shake if bad enough, rotating the tire 180* may put them on opposite sides and help out.

There was never over 15-18 psi in the tire at anytime. I was the one that mounted them and as soon as the bead went on, I lowered the pressure to 10 psi. I ran it down the road with 10 psi, then lowered it to 6 psi. And thats were the pressure has been ever since. I was looking yesterday, and my left hub(looking from the back) is able to move(VERY, VERY slightly). Is it suppose to have any play it, or not. The other side has non at all.

It's possible that may be the problem, but I would think you would have noticed that with the old tires as well.
