Mounting wheels on the car can and will easily scratch any paint off the inside of the wheel where the lugs sit, so if mounted, and even "new", there could easily be small "damage" or paint chips where the lugs sit (I know this is inevitable, but for buyers looking for "new", it makes a difference, thats why I thought "never mounted" meant it was "never mounted on a car".
Tire mounting on wheels can easily be done without leaving a scratch on the wheel. So I would have never thought that when someone says "never mounted", that it means, "tires never mounted".
Interesting.

I don't mean to be nosy and leave comments on somebody's sale thread but this was very interesting and new to me. So I asked my friend Google and found this.
What do “mounting” and “balancing” mean?
Mounting is pretty self-explanatory – it’s simply the act of putting the tires onto the wheels, then installing the wheels onto your vehicle’s axles.
Putting tire on rim and rim installed on car is what mounting means, so it is hard to say mounted if only one of these were done.
