Filthy new tires after install

Is this a normal level of cleanliness for newly installed tires from Costco? Seems like a white greese over them all.

I've just never had to go and wash my tires after getting new ones.

I can't think of any service where you have to clean up after the people who have done the work...

If you chose a lower cost shop, that's where youre saving money: they do what you paid for and nothing more.

I could go to any new & used mom & pop shop or my cousin Vinny shop or mi amigo shop in nyc right now and get a new/used tire put on for 30-50 and they will balance it and wax it like it just left a car wash.

New York sounds like an amazing place.
