What do you call a warped bike tire?

Tire? You mean the metal rim of the wheel, right?

If it's sort of folded or bent badly, you can say it's "tacoed" (if it takes a shape that resembles a taco shell).

If your wheel is out of true, that's something different -- minor adjustments to the spoke tension can fix that. The rim isn't damaged in this case.
