Well cheap stuff has a price and that is quality.

It is the same issue with very cheap bicycle tires these are too often uneven in production. 

I personal buy tires from my workshop and the workshop has to mount them too. It might cost 20 €  more but mot to change the tire myself and too being sure to get quality stuff is worth the money in my opinion.

I can't see clearly from the photos, but are you sure the tyres are seated on the rim correctly it looks like the bead might still be off the rim and in the centre depression. It's common with off road tyres that they don't want to come back on the rim properly and you have to deflate soap up the bead then reinflate even as high as 80PSI

...and be very careful at 80PSI, air can be very scary...
