While nosing through some tire mfgr sites, I noticed that the 165R - 15 is
available.  Does anyone know what this was used on?  The big Healy?  How wierd
would they look on an Alpine?  I'm thinking they may look very 40's - 50's
Brittish sports car.  I like this look, even though the Alpine never had it.
These tires are big, 25.33" in dia. and I am not into the current tire trend,
of wide, low ratio tires.  Besides, being different is fun.
A curious thing I noticed, while the the 165R - 15 and 165R - 13 are
available, the 165R - 14 does not seem to be.  Does anyone have any idea why?
Bill
