$20 Blizzaks 225/55/r17 should I get them?

A dealership that I am friends with is getting rid of some tires they had in storage.

I can get these tires for $20 a piece.

I run a 235/45/r17 now
stock is 215/50/r17

I know my speedo will be off by like 4mph and my car will look like a monster truck. plus maybe some nasty side wall flex.

What would you guys do? Should I get them?

If I do get them should I just get 2 for the front and leave my zeixs in the back. and will my abs be more prone to go on because of the diameter difference?

No I am not broke. its just a good deal. and I need winter tires.

Thats also a bit rude and you still didn't add an opinion or technical information.

That's a steal man. I say get em. They are cheap enough that when needed you can just toss them when you find a good deal on a second pair.
If you are not driving like a lunatic all the time, the difference in sidewall flex should not matter ..not to mention it will give you a smoother ride.

uh.. maybe you should check the date on them before you buy them.. 3-5 years and tires do 'expire' especially if they've been sitting.
