Default How can I tell if unmounted tires are good?

Sorry for asking this stupid question.

I just purchased two used Michelin Pilot Sport 245/40/17 tires from someone off the internet. The seller seems to be very sincere and honest so I am sure these tires are 99% mint.

However, just in case the UPS has accidentally damaged the tires. Is there a good way to tell if these tires are good (meaning it has no hole, no puncture or other serious flaw/blemish) short of actually mounting them?

I bought these so I could replaced my to be worn Michelin Pilot sport tires.

Any idea? Suggestion?

Thanks a lot.

Jon
