[Healeys] Tire Recommendations? Yokohama

I have 185/70-15 Yokohama A321's on my BJ8, and I cannot count the 
number of comments and inquiries I received at Conclave about them. 
"Whata we gonna do?" tire conversations were common at Conclave. These 
are great tires. The only problem is that I bought them 7 years ago at 
the end of the run.  This means that even though they still look new 
(yes we drove 2700 miles round trip to Vermont), in 3 more years they 
will have to go.  Since this is the perfect tire for not only big 
Healeys, but also Porsche 356's (personal experience), and since the 
last ones they produced are nearing end of life, I wonder if an appeal 
to Yokohama with enough enthusiast numbers could produce another limited 
run.  I will be happy to coordinate communication.  All those interested 
please respond, and put "Yokohama" in the subject line, so I can filter 
them all together.  I have no financial interest, etc, I just wonder if 
the numbers would support a limited run.
