I've got an oldish (3 years) dhr in the front of my trail bike that's probably got another summer of wear left in it. It's running tubeless on a straight rim. It's seated evenly throughout, with the little line and even 2mm or so from the rim edge across the wheel

The tyre has a noticable wobble when spun - I'd say 4-5mm. The seating where it wobbles is correct.

Have I just knackered the carcass?

Definitely straight previously?ย  Maxxis has a bit of a history of having wobbles from new (IME/O)

Yep got one too.

Not sure when or why, but almost unrideable.

Think so, came on a brand new bike, think I'd have noticed if the front wheel was wobbling around on it day 1
