[Healeys] Tires

[llennep at verizon.net (Keith Pennell)]

Ron glad you started a tire thread - been a while.  :)

I toyed for many many years (well over 20) before finally replacing the 185/15 
Mich redlines.  Just could not find the tall tire like I wanted without paying 
large $.  Finally settled on the Vred 185/15.  They fill up  the wheel well 
like I wanted and are taller than the 165s.   To me the 165s look anemic in the 
opening, esp the BJ8 which sits taller anyway.  Less than 400 miles on tires 
but they ride and grip ok.  Not a huge fan of the sidewall.  Hope this helps.

Keith

An alternative could be the Vredestein      or Michelin 185/75 or 195/70R15 
size tyres.

Hello list.  It has been awhile since I had a question            for the group.
          
 
          
I need to replace my 12 year old Michelin ZX175R15 tires            on my 
?61Austin Healey with modern tubeless wire wheels.
          
 
          
The only ones I can find that are close to that size are            Michelin 
XZX 165SR15 or Vredestein 165HR15.
          
 
          
Opinions on these??
          
 
          
Recommendations for a tire shop in Southern California            that knows 
how to mount and balance wire wheels?
          
 
          
Thanks,
