    Tired of tires

    This is a relatively easy question but my performance mods are limited to tune-ups and oil changes.

    I just mounted a 130/90 Bridgestone spitfire to the back of my 78 gs . The rims are wire spoke and running fairly true. The issue I have is that the tire is lumpy for lack of a better description.

    The bead is seated but the tire has fat and skinny spots and appears to wobble as it spins due to the the varying widths around the diameter. This can't be normal. The bead also seems to seat higher on one end than the other by perhaps 1/8-3/16 inch.

    Did i put too much arm into the tire bar when mounting and distort the bead or did the bead distort from other reasons and how can i fix this. Maybe it will "fix itself.

    Any ideas
