One can never judge much from a picture, but here are my thoughts.

1.      Who the hell has ever heard of Wynstar? Didn't Pontiac or Ford
have a van called that? You'd trust your family's fate to a company with
the misspelled name of a mellican mini-van? Hmm.
2.      What's the price? For $24 each I might try them for giggles.
Much above that (like $24.99) and I'd opt for a mainstream, like the
Michelin Agilis, or the Yoko Y370, or even The Y356.
3.      Speaking of the Y356, this thing looks like the tires on my
local UPS truck. Not that looks count, but the tread pattern is oh-so
1960's. yawn.
4.      Why don't they post the tangential data about these donuts?
Every other tire, they tell you everything except the Astrological sign.
Why not for these UPS Truck tires?

You asked. :-)

p.s. even Microsoft XP's spell check, (which seems to know how to spell
everything) doesn't like "Wynstar".

Does anybody have any experience with the Wynstar Phaser RLT51 185R14C
Tires?

They are 8 Ply, 102/100P, rated 1875 lbs at 65 psi.

I've never heard of them before and their website has very little
information:

I saw a set today.  They look nice - but looks don't mean much, right?
