Roger,
The Michelin XAS 180-15 looks very good to me. Is there a US supplier?
Thanks.

165-15 tires are all a little smaller in diameter compared to the original
590-15 cross ply.
Maybe consider the Mich. XAS 180-15 tires that are 3% taller and so fit better
in the wheel wells, but you do have to be careful with some clearances.
I am very happy with mine after about 4k mi

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,
Ron Fine
