Call me a hack, but the way I plan to test these for
"trueness" is to balance them, mount them on the car
and drive the hell out of them. Always worked for me
in the past...

Well, maybe that's true, I guess. Looking at them
carefully, they look perfect. There is none of the
dryness that come from age. None of the cracking or
rot. They still have all the little stubbly rubbber
thingies sticking off them, and they have that
slightly powdery feel like brand new tires.
I was mostly concerned about the size...
