If they were manufactured in 2016, then no I would not buy them at any price.

If those tires are almost 2 inches taller than what's called for they'll undoubtedly rub.

When I buy tires, I always buy tires with date codes no more than 9 months old from date of purchase. I have an 2004 Alero but mine are the 16" wheels. Go new and name brand that has 4.5 stars or better reviews. If it something you are keeping for 5 years or better, just buy the highest mile tire you can buy.

@Zefirka hasn't been active since September. I wonder if he bought the tires?
