I had the same issue with mine, because they came in a box that was too narrow - they were oval actually. I varied the air pressure a view times and squeezed them or held 'em (the axles between my fingers) and rolled 'em on the floor.
Air in - air out, squeeze and roll ...over and over again.
There's a lettering on the tyres that indicate the maximum pressure for mags. Sometimes it helps to pump them up to the max. But haven't had mine filled up to the full-maximum though.
On some of the ST's the coloured part of the tyre is not even all around either, that can also enhance the impression.

Great looking builds,
Don't really know anything about Torker's apart from the Haro built Models ...
Interesting that these were race frames originally with a DTT which i guess most associate with freestyle.. Didn't they make a cruiser as well with the same DTT ? Sure Ive seen images of a 24" being raced I'm my magazines...
