You can find enough videos in the net to see how you do the installation. Most of them have pretty much the same ethod of doing it.
It is either the Giros being cheap but the sidewalls are not particularly even when spinning the wheel. The center of the tread is generally straight but I could always do it better. Would be nice to have a jig to align the tire to the center
