[Healeys] Tires

[Dallas Congleton]

This is in the FWIW category, as I have no personal experience with these 
tires but after a long wait for some backordered 165-15 Kuhmos, my local 
tire dealer recently received some 165-15 Nexus brand. They looked just like 
the Kuhmos, with the same tread, etc; but with a different name on the side. 
They were the same price as Kuhmos, and as all these tires are now made off 
shore, one could assume they were made in the same factory.
The tires looked like equal quality to the Kuhmos, and had I not already 
found some tires I would have tried these, especially for  the price..
