They look like what NASCAR calls "skuffs" not "sticker tire" new. However, it looks like they are real low mile. Did you get a full new warranty?

As I said, in post #17, they look like the tires on a brand new C7, delivered w/ 4 miles from the factory, and driven 50 miles home from the dealer. That's exactly what mine looked like when I did exactly that 13 days ago.

That's about as new as they get, unless you plan to put new sticker tires on a car and never drive it. They do get driven about 4 miles at BG, so they're never going to be completely new from the factory either and will have similar marks on them.

You can still see the tire mold rubber residue in picture 1. They can't have more than a few miles on them.

Did they come from a store or private party sale?
