    Let me guess... both sides, stock sized tire, you hit something like a curb or huge pothole straight on and REALLY hard. close?

    get it really hot. i mean like almost liquid hot. then put it back on your car and taker her up to around 150, 160. the centrifugal force should push it out to its intended shape.

    There is a slight vibration, but it almost seems like it could be from having only the one new tire on the front. Did have to replace several pushpins in the wheel well also.
