[PANAVIA]

Driving vs no driving makes not a bit of diff in this case. -- if it is mal-molded I find it surprising that it made it out of QA.

i would leave it in the hot sun and let the heat do its thing and then drive on it a bit to see if it can be reshaped. -- same thing happened on some more conventional tires i purchased - turns out mine were on the bottom of a pile of tires.

maybe the same thing happened here -- worth more investigation before tossing them back.
