When you get 4 tires for 220 you can't have bad ones lol. I would get those asap!! but they were made in 2008 so they are about 4 yerars old.
also look at what the people say about them... everyone says they love them! I also run general tires on my dd wheels

those tires are being discontinued that is why they are so cheap. i believe they are replacing them with the general gmax
definitely a good deal on four tires though.

They seem to be about the same. Both barely cover the specs of your car but they are extremely cheap. I would look for reviews and see what people say about them.
If in doubt, FLAT OUT

They look like an OK tire, but really can't tell until you try them. However, I will also say that if there is one place you never skimp, it is tires.

Get nankang tires. Me and a.v.e have em and they're hella cheap and wear really evenly, even with my - 3 camber all around. I was running Sunny tires before and the front had camber wear down to the wire within a month. The nankangs I have now I've had for a month and they're still like new.
