Thanks for all the advice and replies. I Got the rear tire mounted (much easier since there is more rubber to work with) and got them both balanced and mounted so I really hope I don't have to pop off the front again. The Shinko US distributor manager got ahold of me and said that he believes it could be a misprinted tire as well. He said he will get ahold of the factory that produces them to confirm though. Very pleased with the service so far however. He said that if they had a more expensive tire available in the same size he would have paid to have them swapped out, but they did not. So i'm pretty confident he'll reimburse me if the tire needs to be remounted.
I'll keep everyone updated but for now i'll just avoid hitting water at high speeds, should be doing that anyway I guess...
