I'll look to replace the rear one soon, and will be hopeful that the replacement mounts straighter (Conti Speed Rides mounted straight on this same wheel, so I know the rim is good).
if you think there is any chance that tire might blow out... mount it on the REAR wheel... it's not fun when a front tire blows... nope, not one bit.

probably just a funky lay-up from the factory... seen many.
