I couldn't find Michelin X redlines listed at Coker.com. Only the black
walls are listed: 185R15. Confused....
I bought a new set back in the late 80's I think. They have never been
in direct sunlight and have about 1000 miles on them. They look good --
no dry rot or checking that I can see, but I might be interested in a
new set anyway.
Are you buying them new at Coker?
