...if you look at the fine print you notice that they are "remanufactured" tires. I won't use the pejorative term "recap", but I would guess the speed rating on that type of tire is pretty low. (There is no mention of a speed rating that I can see.)
Growing up in Western Pennsylvania, I remember some exciting moments when the recapped snow tires (that my father favored) suddenly disintegrated on the family Buick at 50 Mph. Some lessons remain quite vivid even after 30 years.
Maybe technology has advanced since my experiences, and I recognize that the economics of spending $400 to put tires on a $400 car don't seem to make sense, but I would look elsewhere.
