Question wobbly tires

When the truck is moving, the tires don't run true. They are a little wobbly. When I grasp the tire in my hand, it has side to side play. I don't think this is right. From the videos I have watched with other trucks; I don't see any wobbling. Or, maybe I just want everything to be perfect. Considering I have dropped a lot of cash into it.

Are the wheels sitting flush on the hex's? Are you sure you don't have a bent axle shaft? Of course they will not be super ballanced because there are small imperfections, but anything excessive means something isn't right.

are the tires wobbly or are the rims wobbly. if its the tires then its very common. sometimes messaging the tires to maybe seat the foam better works. If its the wheels then something is not straight or not seated properly on the hexes...........CAUTION: Messaging Tires has been know to the state of California to cause chubby's in certain Rock Crawlers. If chubby last longer than 1hr. You need to message harder.
