One might also want to contact XK's Unlimited (800-444-5247.) I paid $99
each plus shipping for Vredestein 165 HR 15.
As Mark, no financial interest.

Subject: [Healeys] 165 x 15 Tires
My 165x15 Dunlop tires are now 8 years old and I do not want to take any
chances. I thought that no one produced the 165x 15 tires, which are
actually 165x80 R15 in size.
I do not like the aggressive look of the Vredestein tires, and do not want
to use the 195 or 205 x 65 tires as they will rib on tight turns. A Healey
friend that has several 3000's
told me that <http://www.discounttiredirect.com> www.discounttiredirect.com
or their ebay store had Nankang
165-80 R15 that he has used on sale. I know that several of you may need to
replace your old tires
and are looking for 165-80 R15 tires. They have a "T" rating which is up to
118 MPH, so that is good as the BJ8 can only go a max of 112 MPH.
I have no commercial interest, but like having the original tire sizes on my
car.
