By looking at other sizes and prices I would say it's a glitch but who knows.

This is a very common size, hence always cheap deals available.

Why would anybody buy a tyre that sounds like a mobile phone and has news reports like this about them
It's probably not a glitch. I was looking for a set of winters early last year when I was off to Germany and Austria as its compulsory there to have either all season or winter tyres. I rang up the company who is the sole importer of Nokian tyres. Not sure how this company has come by them unless they are another importer or distributer but when I asked how old the tyres were they were manufactured in 2012.......can't remember the month but I didn't want to put tyres on my car that what 3 years old so bought some Avons instead.
Just a point to some of you who think winter tyres are a waste of time I can tell you without them I would have been stuck literally. I have Mazda 6 diesel which although puts a lot of weight over the front tyres its absolutely crap in snow and you cannot fit snow chains to the car without fitting wheel spacers, possibly longer studs as well. The winter tyres were amazing. Going uphill with fresh snow on the ground from a standing start, no issues. A bit scary in Austria when the police had pulled someone up, or they had got stuck and was being made to put his chains on. My car just gripped. Thick snow in the car park no problem at all. They just stick like **** to a blanket. Amazing grip. These Nokians though have a very good review and if you don't mind them being old which they probably are, if they have been stored ok they should be fine.
