The wobble I am seeing is looking over the handlebars down at the tire...kind of like an untrue rim that is rubbing on a brakeshoe each revolution. They could do better, they are in my mind premium tires with a premium price.
I haven't bought them in awhile but the 20" Supremes I bought 6 yrs ago had a heinous hop in the casing, the bead was seated fine. It looked like there as too much overlap in a layer causing a reduction in diameter. Panaracers and Continentals costing half as much never had those anomalies. Didn't see the problem with Mondiales/XR.
