I just put some MSO 36 tublessessess on my grinder and found an almost imperceptible wobble from the rear only. Front is perfect. Heck it could be a slightly loose spoke it's such a small wobble; not enough for me to care - it doesn't affect handling. That video of our wobble is out of control though.

Update on this. I've put about 500 miles on these tires now. I'm still riding the wonky front tire despite having a replacement. As I mentioned, because the tire is round I don't notice anything while riding.
Separate note: I was talking to a friend this morning who's a pro mechanic. He noted that he's seen lots of Clement X'Plor MSOs and PDXs with this wobble. He said that in general he's seeing a lot more issues with tire quality over the past few years from lots of different brands. It's strange, I've been riding and racing bikes for decades and never had this kind of problem before.

Funny that this thread was resurrected by someone at Clement. I ride MSO 40mm tires on my gravel bike and for the last 6-7 weeks have started at them while they spin on the bike stand and on the road.
There is definite wobble that isnt wheel based. Thats obvious on the stand.
On the road though? Im being shook so much on the gravel that my tire not being perfectly symmetrical is absolutely no hindrance. Odd that I have such a randomly low level of care on this. I just love the tires too much and realize Im vibrating the bike hundreds of times a minute, so whats a slight bit of wobble.

I had the same problem with a MSO 40. It caused a noticeable vibration when used on the front. At first I thought the wheel was out of true. The shop I bought it from replaced it with another one.
