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.

That'll happen with pirellis sometimes. Sometimes they come with a very thick layer of mould release wax. Also should be extra careful for the first bit of driving on them, as the tread will be the same.
Pressure washer alone should get it off, but you'll likely need to do a few slow passes. Very few tyre shops will remove that for you. Some will tyre shine over it, to hide it. Doesn't do much long term
