I put a set of Gillett 165/15s and new wheels from Hendrix on my BJ8 this
past fall. Hendrix mounted and balanced and touched up the mounted tires up
with his shaver.
My view is I will likely be changing tires l-o-n-g before they wear out
so a shorter tire life because of shaving is not a concern of mine. These
tires/wheels - and I did balance the rear drums - run really s-m-o-o-t-h on
the car and things are going well. Also, they fill up the wheel wells about
like period photos show.
