Default defective tires?

i got my hands on a pair pilot powers for free...didnt need them on the bike right away so i rode on my dunlops for awhile.....i then put on the pilots and on the ride home it was really uneven power when i got on it b/t 40-55. i brought it back to see if ther balancing was off only to be told the tire was an irregular shape slightly due to packaging? and hopfeully in time it will correct itself...didnt know if this is accurate info and seeing if any one had the same problem and if it did correct it self...
* if any one wants my old tires they are yours for like $25 OBO..they are dunlop 208, 180 rear....rear is eh and front is in pretty good condition . let me know.

It seems that balancing will be a good indicator if there is an issue...

As for them stating they were an "Irregular" shape... sounds fishy.

I would be quite nervous riding with suspicious rubber on the ground.... you might want to pop them off and take them somewhere for a second opinion.

Let me know if you need any help.

...often times, you get what you pay for.... maybe this is why they were "free"
