I have 2 Michelin 165-15s that while NOS would make for great concours
tires. Does anyone have two more they want to sell to make a set?
Ted, unless the ones you have are under 5-6 years old (NOS or otherwise), I
wouldn't bother to buy two new ones just to "go Concours"! For one thing, the
XZX tread wasn't available as far back as the TR4A; optional original
equipment back then would've been the "original" Michelin X. Besides, I'm not
sure a
modern tire in the correct size would count against you regardless. Of
course, there seems to be very little currently available in that size
nowadays.
>From personal experience, I'd say that the XZX was an ok tire 25 years ago,
but probably no better than current Kumhos (if they're still available).
