can tires be mounted wrong

[IP400]

I have a set of douglas wheels and holeshot tires and they both wobble real bad could it be the tire is mounted wrong. I have never crashed the quad and the tires and rims are brand new. all my other rim/tire combos work great. How can I tell if it is the rim or the tire.

If the bead is not set all the way, like only half way it may wobble. Also is your axle bent?

put a jack under the rear skid plate and put the quad in 5th, hop off and look at it...it might be the axle to :confused:

1st would barely be fast enough to see if theres any wobble in the rear end, it would shake more in 5th easily showing the problem....i dont mean 5th pinned just let it idle and that would be fast enough


its like trying to roll a slightly oval ball, at 1-2mph you would barely notice it, but if you really huck the thing you're gonna know its not round
