Do you think I should buy these tires?

I'm curious why the 55's and not the 60's? There is a significant difference in price and I believe the 60's are as close to the same diameter as 165-15's.
 
There is a Kumho Ecsta ASX for well under half the price with better reviews, have not tried these particular tires, but have run Kumhos on some of my cars, good tire for the money.

Does the 2006 production on the description mean the bridgestone was made in that year, if so wouldn't by them, tires degrade over time.

I have Falken Ziex 912s on my TR250, tire rack doesn't sell them, discount tires direct does, they seem to be fine tires too, I have a different size (205/65) but looks like they make a 55 too.
 
Wouldn't do 55's, will look too small in the wheel well. 65's are okay and 70's are difficult to fine in right size but are my choice.

Didn't realize you are working on a TR6, Miser. In that case, I would definitely recommend taller tires, (and wider if your rims will handle it). I only run 205/55 because that is all that will fit under my TR3 fenders without modification.
 
I also went with the space saver tire for a spare but as a good friend mentioned that's all fine and well but where will you put the flat tire to get it back to be fixed. In his case we stuffed it behind the seats. The point is you will need to deal with a tire that will not fit in your trunk regardless. Admitedly for a shorter period of time but it will need to be dealt with.
