Send 'em back! You, your wife, and your Shelties deserve better!

Seriously, if there's any concern about safety, then don't drive on them.  It's not a great deal unless you're McCheap Finkelberger.

Yeah, no, PMC looks really shady. Whenever I buy tires I tell buddy specifically that I want something made within the last 12-18 months, otherwise don't bother. Only have had Cambodian Tire turn their nose up at my request.

If I remember correctly PMC sent Blueprint a tire and wheel set up that did not meet load specs of the CX90 PHEV. Really makes me want to stay away from them.

They did, but getting early tech info on the CX-90 was tough, even with me going through Mazda (the aftermarket - except for Amazon's Chinese suppliers - doesn't even have floor mats for the thing). They did good on their promise at least and took the whole set back, with shipping, at no cost to me.

As for the teenage tires, if the old Ouback does not see sustained highway speeds, and just putters around town, might as well keep them. I'd never take them above 80-90 though. Had a friend suffer a blowout on no-wear 11 y.o. tires on an eldery parent's little-used car, but that's with 11 year of sunlight exposure though.

For the sake of $200 difference when compared to brand new tires shipped to your door?

It's all relative - at 400,000 km, the op's Outback already has one wheel in the junkyard. I'd never use tires this old for a more recent and valuable dd that sees highway use.

Of course, it's all relative.   If anyone (let alone a relative) is going to be driving this car then intentionally driving on tires which may blow out with prolonged highway driving makes no sense whatsoever. Burl is likely sending those tires back as we speak.

The difference is more like $450 with these, it's so tempting, but I can't do it, gonna sent them back   
It warmed up a bit and I had a better look at them to see if I wanted to mount them and compared them to other tires I have, some near the same age....they are hard like hockey pucks.  Harder than any old tires I have, very much harder than new tires (I was just at CanadianTire and checked), they are almost plastic-like.   
We do drive this car a fair amount and it does see occasional 401 usage, usually full of dogs too.   It's not that I'm scared they'll blow out, I just don't think they'll have much grip and will possibly also chunk in the summer.

Anyone have any personal experience with these tires? My Civic could use some new winter tires but don't want to break the bank on a 17 year old sh**box.

I'd look for a set of 1-2 year old used tires, to be honest.  Gotta be plenty of Civic-sized tires around.

Here is a set mounted on rims.  Not sure what brand they are, but it's a question that could be asked.  I bet if you offered $450, the guy would take it.
