How to Straighten a Tire

[bicycleguy]

I bought a new 2.5 Kenda Nevegal tire from pricepoint.com for my freeride bike but when I got the tire it was kind of folded over in the box (wire bead tire) and twisted so I figured once I put it on the wheel it will straighten out but it didn't. Now the tire moves side to side like a really untrue wheel, does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,
Bryan

Your beads are not properly seated. Air down then air up 10lbs at a time. Between each airing, work the bead on both sides with your thumbs.

It can also help to wet them with soapy water, they will slide up to the bead more easily.

Thanks, the wheels are Mavic Deemax's and they are they hardest wheels I have ever owned to change the tire on so I'll try to get the bead to seat better.
Thanks,
