Ok some info up front:
-I've been changing my own tires since riding mini bikes so I'm competent with the process
-I've used mostly Dunlop for decades, never ever had an issue
-The wheel in question is a good condition Excel a60 rim
This is my first time mounting mx33 Dunlops and I am using the stock size rear on a 19" wheel. Excel A60 rims that are straight, no issues. There is a spot on each side where the tire slips off the bead into the center of the rim. I tried taking the core out of the tube and resetting the tire like 50 times and nothing works. I finally got it to sit properly and let it sit over night with 45psi in it. Went on my second ride last night and it went back to the same issue once I started riding with 13psi in it. WTF
Got these from Rocky Mountain so I'm going to call them and see if they'll give me another.

Had it with mtb tyres. Maxxis had a period of funky tyres years ago that were faulty.
I have about 4 rides on my A60s, so part of me thinks it's the rim design not being as forgiving with tires. Ran nothing but MX3s/MX33s on my old Tusk rims... never a problem then.
The Shop
Hunter Tire Paste makes it really easy for mounting and seating. Just use a sponge and wipe down the beads and you're good to go. The pail will most likely last a lifetime if you just using it for personal tires. Keep the lid on when not in use so it doesn't dry out.
