Hi Michael and all,
Any idea if we can buy and store tires?
I suspect not, yet thought I=E2=80=99d ask.
=20
I have a set of Michelin=E2=80=99s,, they look perfect yet are 12 years =
old and that make me nervous
I=E2=80=99m installing them on the 65 BJ8 that I=E2=80=99ll have to sell =
in the spring, not that it make it road worthy, yet they are =
better/newer then what=E2=80=99s currently on there.
=20
My Vredestein are good on my driver BJ8, yet not as good in road =
handling (IMHO).=20
I can=E2=80=99t help to wonder if we can=E2=80=99t buy, hide/store tires =
and bring them out in the future.

Yes Tom quite true. I didn't know that Kuhmo made that size ever... I =
would have jumped on a set for sure..
I have been searching for 165/80 15 tires for about 40 years and these =
Classic All Seasons are first I have ever seen in that size...=20
I know tires deteriorate with age but given how hard i had to look to =

This is always a good subject, and one where the older archived posting =
may not be much help.
I put a set of Kuhmo 165/80R15 tires on my car about 5 years ago, and i =

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
