Can you tell that I recently bought some new tires for my car?

Should have said you were in the market, for I have a set of dedicated
snows on four rims that I'm looking to sell: 18” x 8" BBS SR's (bolt
pattern 5 x 112mm), complete with TPMS sensors & 235/60R18 Continental
Viking Contact 7 snow tires w/good tread.

Shipping those would be expensive...  The wheels would fit, I think,
but the the 60 profile is taller than my 45's.  From an SUV, I would
assume.

Shipping could be costly, but you're in FIOS land, so it geographically wouldn't necessarily be too far of a drive, especially if we split it. And yes, these are SUV; I'd moved along the sedan set a few years back.

I went with Michelin X-Ice tires, breaking from many years of running
Dunlop Winter Sports.

 My previous QX60 had Michelin X-Ice and they were wonderful. For the longest time, they were the top-rated winter tires and have only recently been surpassed by Toyo's offering. I wanted the same thing on my new vehicle but they only had a choice of either Continental or Yokohama. Since Continental is the absolute worst garbage I've ever owned (bubbles form on the side of the tires after about 15,000km), you can imagine what I purchased.

My preferences for winter snows has long been Vredstein, but the family shop that I'd been using for decades couldn't get them in stock during CoVid when I last needed to buy a replacement set, so I settled on the Continentals.  Conti is an okay provider...given sufficient years, one can probably find some complaint about most any of them - - case in point, I've had good success with Michelin, but ten years ago, I had a horrible time with a set which had a loud harmonic vibration which occurred only at my preferred long distance highway cruising speed.
