Just bought these tires- WTF?

I just got these tires from a guy on C-List locally. Are they effed up or can I run them without worrying about it? They have really good tread. I bought them in the dark and got home and took a good look at them. Two of them have issues. One seems to be gouged at the bead, and one (this one I'm not TOO worried about) has a cut at the bead, but looks like it is shallow enough on the bead to be ok.

Tire number one:








And tire number two:





I already called the guy I bought them from and he said if they are bad, to call him up and he'll take them back.

they should be just fine.

I agree you will be okay, if you are worried just put the worst ones on the back. I happens to a lot of tires that are taken off and reused.

Mount them..You are good to go..Enjoy the tires

Cool- thanbks a lot guys. I checked the tread and rolled each tire for screws or gouges on the outsides, just didn't think to check the bead.

Appreciate the peace of mind.

hit the nail on the head

They may leak a bit with that type of damage. Have the tire shop glue them to the rim.
