[Healeys] 175R15 tires

[John Soderling]

I've been running the Kumho Power Star 758s 165/80-15 tires for three years 
and 17,000 miles and they are the best tire I've ever had on my Healey, 
which include several Dunlop P4 and Dunlop P20 tires.  With the Kumho tires 
and can take my favorite 90 degree corner near my house 10 MPH faster before 
the rear end bakes loose.  They are also wearing well, no vibration (I have 
the fronts balanced on the car) and handle well.  Love them.  The only down 
side might be they don't look vintage.
Vrooom vroom,
John
