Are they new as in 500 miles or less?
If so it's the mold release still on the tires.

Is there more than 500 miles on the tires?
If so it might be that they're overinflated.

The double negative (never not) cancels so I am thinking the new tires won't ever spin any more. If so, don't worry, you can wear them down again.

It sounds like you need an alignment, real bad.

Was the car ever in an accident?
