Yeah, Kuhmo offers one of the only 165 x 15 radials available, in the
US, at a very reasonable price. And, you can be sure that the cheapest
part of any Porsche is the owner......
Verdstein is the only other tire maker offering a reasonably priced
tire, in that size. I need to replace the Michelin XZXs on my 356, this
year, and I'm giving very serious thought to Kuhmos (I guess I'm the
cheapest part on my Porsche :) I've heard nothing but good about them,
and they're available through NTB, which means I can get good service on
them.
Now, I did buy four new 155x13 Kuhmos for my '72 Midget, last summer.
However, I got the cheaper of the two models offered, and found that I
had some serious "tread squirm" issues with them. I'll probably
exchange them for the other, slightly higher priced Kuhmos, as I put
very few miles on them.

Thank you, JF.
Porschi around Fairfield County wear Khumos like we used to wear Keds
back in
the late 50's/early 60's to the extent I thought they came "stock". :)
