Not really sure what you mean, like the whole wheel its self is bent? If so take it to a shop cause it doesn't sound like you should be messing with wheels.
Also unless your hitting germs at insane speeds having a wheel bend on a berm sounds like it was dangerously undertensioned.

Bet its a maxxis. Lob it, once the carcass has been damaged its scrap.

Exactly this. I've had two maxxis tyres do the same thing, one a minion and a high roller 2 (both in the 3c max terra compound). It's the casing itself which gets deformed, so no way to fix them.

Same thing with a few maxxis tyres

Won't work. Once the carcass deforms, nothing gets it to sit true again. Trust me, I tried everything imaginable.

But its not your tire and the OP hasn't been back, so speculation

warped carcasses doing the same thing. Nothing to set it back straight, just buy some new tires with better casing.
