These tires are being sold as "used" strictly because of their 2018 date code. They've been mounted on a rim.  We've found that when our customers order a "new" tire they typically expect it be somewhere between 6 months and 24 months old. As we strive to meet our customer's expectations, once a tire gets to a certain age we mark it as used and the price accordingly. This allows the customer to make an informed decision and save some money. We also this tire in a "new" condition in a different listing.
