since i blew a tire last week and was looking for replacements i ended up on ebay. kinda bad way to start this but some of these prices are actually decent.

i was riding on some nexen n5000 and they were ok. when i started looking around i found a set a 4 tires (never heard of them before) that would actually cost less than 4 new nexen n5000

like i said, i've never heard of these before but i'd like some opinions. i'd like to have something on the car by next saturday so i can get back focused on paint & exhaust

Those are Chinese made. The tread wear rating is 360, so they are far from being a sticky tire. I wouldn't get anything cheaper than Nexen N3000's. Those seem to get decent reviews and should be a bit stickier.
