Maxxis Pace alignment problem.

Greetings everyone!

For the first time I've decided to build a bike from scratch (Surly Bridge Club frame). Most of my riding is on asphalt, sand and gravel. Trying to use components that are solid but reasonably priced. My wheels (Alexrims and shimano hubs) are both true. Decided to go with tube tires for the time being. I purchased Maxxis Pace tires (27.5 x 1.95). Don't remember the brand of inner tubes. But when I put on the tubes and tires and inflated, the tires seemed to have bubbles or bulges and the tread was not in straight line when turned. So I took the tires off and double checked wheels for true. Wheels are spot on. I was concerned when I received the tires as they were "pretzelled" to fit in the shipping box.

Not sure where the problem is. Thoughts, suggestions?
