New Conti g24000 ii with a Hump?
I've ridden dozens of these tires (23s and 25s) over the past few years; put a new set on (25s) last week. Didn't notice anything, until the first ride. A definite bump/hump. I checked for bead/rim separation, deflated and reinflated the tire (same tubes, as before.) Hump is still there.
I haven't taken the tire off, to check for thickness variations. Any thoughts?

Defects happen. This is where buying locally pays off over buying on the interweb.

Not really consider yourself as self-insured. Five successful tire purchases online and you can easily afford an oops and still be ahead.
