Ok, this is going to be a lesson to future buyers of Used tires........Buyer's Beware!

I was lucky enough to purchase these tires from the seller. However I did not inspect the tires closely as I believe what he described the tires as only having 463 miles and are practically brand new.

I went to have the tires installed today and the tire shop showed me 2 rips on the inside bead area of the tires. One had a small chunk of rubber missing (ripped out), the 2nd one actually had a good cut that shows the inner bead of the tire. The tire shop said there's a good chance the tires will leak air. I most likely will replace the 2 tires because I wouldn't want to risk the tire blowing up while I'm driving it.

I'm sure this is nothing that the OP knew about since he's only had the tires such a short time and had them removed from the rim. It was probably caused by inexperienced tire installers/dismounters.

Short story, the money saved is actually not saved after all. So buying used tires, sight unseen should not be done.
