When this happens the little cone shape that is pressed into the wheels at manufacture to center the nuts is distorted and flattened on one side.
So what happens when you drive it, the wheel is actually off center by an eighth of an inch. It feels like you have a tire that is flat in one spot.
To check this, pull off a couple of wheels and look at the wheel and see if the cone indentation is still correct. Or, you could jack up the front and just spin the wheel and with a finger see if it is not centered. Can't do that on the rears.
If you replace the tires carefully, you can get them on properly, but the malformation will always be there. So, if you find it, you might take it back and ask for new wheels.

I was told by the Yamaha dealer in Ocala that Yamaha was recalling all 2018 carts with radial tires and replacing with non radials until this problem (of seating) is fixed. And this was effecting all dealers in our area.
Suggest you take it back to where it was purchased and ask.............
