Question about" non-round" tires

Does anyone have any experience with new tires that are out-of-round? I have trouble believing that reputable tire manufacturers, with decades of experience, would sell tires that have flat spots on them... like "whop, whop, whop, whop, whop, whop, whop, whop".

I just rec'd a pair of light, hi pressure tires by Schwalbe, and they both have flat spots. Is this just me. Am I doing something wrong? Has anybody else ever had this experience? Schwalbe's been in the business forever, and you'd think "round" is a fundamental requirement for saleable tires!
