Is this a defective tire, or did I damage it?

So I’ve had issues with these Continental RaceKing Shieldwall tires where there would be tire wobble and yet it seems like the tire is mounted correctly. This is my 3rd tire that has this problem. That said I don’t remember this tire having that issue when it was first mounted.

That said, I did remove these from a wheel that was hard to get the bead off, so I used a tire lever to remove it. Is it possible that my using a tire lever (which I realize isn’t recommended for tubeless tires) caused this? I returned the first two tires with this issue and I really don’t want to return a third, especially if it turns out that I damaged the tire.
