we were looking at it today, and we noticed it doesnt have the Advan tire(or how ever you spell it) it only has 9880 miles with diff tires that look brand new, did the not SE or MR come with diff tires, it also doesnt have a engine bay pic witch leads us to believe that they want people to go look at it cause people wouldnt look at it with aftermarket parts, on autotrader, it doesnt state that the car has a warentee so i think it might have aftermarket parts but idk, what do you guys think

All Evo's came with stock Advan tires, including the MR/SE models. If it doesn't have Advan tires, that means they were replaced. They last for 10,000 miles anyways.. 

so what do you think about my logic with the because it has brand new tires at 9800 miles, cause i no they last longer than that, but it could have been a dealer thing. and there is another black IX at the same dealer with stock tires at 13k miles, so it makes me think that the car was driven really hard, but besides that, the car looks stock

If a dealer buys a used car, they inspect it. If they find that anything really has to be replaced, then they'll replace it. So that in turn means that if the tires were complete slicks when they got it, they replace those with brand new tires. That way the customer would not have to worry about getting new ones. It also makes the car look much better to the customer when they see new tires on the car. If the car has stock tires and they look in good shape and they don't need replacing, then I bet the dealer leaves them alone. That's my take. 
its cool, i talked to the dealer, they said its got a warentee, they said wen they buy used cars and there much wear or baldyness ont he tires, they replace them, and i think im going to go look at it this sunday
