simple check on tyres is to run your hand around the tyre to see if it is uniform round and not have any steps on it ( i.e tread block is up then down and so on )

Are eh rotational tyres? Normally it's them that cause the problems or if they are stepped

Yea my betting is on chopping tyres. Quite common on crap tyres.

Standard wheels, fit the hub correctly, no room for a spigot ring that I am aware of?

Well, a quick feel of the inside edge indicates stepping on the tread. Will try two new decent tyres.
