No, not a good deal. It's a 13 year old tire. They even highlighted the date code with the red arrow in one of the pictures. It was made the 17th week of 2010. It belongs in the trash.

Be careful with eBay tires they are often several or more years old.
Standard thinking is 5 years for tire life. Ever seen a dried up hard rubber band? The key work is rubber the same thing the tire is made with.
Pass on it. Search the major sellers (J and P, Dennis Kirk etc) will have tires in the proper size and not ancient
