    Yup :cool:
    That's just for the tires, still gotta mount/balance. They're cosmetic blems, which means nothing as the blems are usually a smudge on the white letter and in no way effects the function or performance of the tire. I get them from a mom and pop tire place back in my home town. I've been buying blem Coopers from them as long as I've been buying tires.

    Yea I'm pretty pumped. Hoping the only trimming I have to do to clear them is to plastic. We'll see.

    Picked them up today. They are stamped 'BLEMISH,' near the actual blemish.
    I couldn't find any sort blemish on one of the tires, the other three had a fairly minor scuff/gouge on the sidewall. The one with a gouge closest to the tread (in the first picture) looks to be the worst, but looks worse in the picture than it actually is. All in all I'm pretty pleased with what I got for the price I paid. I've seen more damage to a tire from a curb in a parking lot, and definitely after the first trip on a trail.

    I got bored yesterday and decided to PlastiDip my TPMS before I mounted everything this week.

    Yea looks pretty good, very minor blemishes indeed...,those tires are made in our Texarkana plant, I can't make out the rest of the DOT code to see when they were made though...

    Are looking at the last part of the "DOT UT2C ???" in the 3rd picture that is under the PP stamp?
    Looks like DOT UT2C 1A8 1714 on one, DOT UT2C 1A8 2414 on another. I'll have to check the other two tomorrow.

    Did you just ask for blems from the start or did they offer them without having to ask? What was the wait time to get a set?

    I usually ask about both 1st and if they can get blems in the size/model I'm interested in purchasing. Lead time was less than 24 hours. I called and ordered Thursday afternoon, my folks picked them up for me on Friday. I met up with them today for lunch and to get the tires. Now my dad wants a set for his truck:)

    I'm good with that. I know nothing about the shelf life of a tire, but I would assume less than 6 months from production to being mounted is still ok.

    Safe to say you should expect at least 30-40k out of these?
