[Healeys] tires

[Tom Felts]

And Vredestines are great looking, handling and riding tires.  Have them on the Healey and the E-Type.

I've had Kumhos from Hendrix on my BJ8 since 2007 and 18K miles.  I've been
very happy with the ride, performance, and wear so far.  Flat spotting has
not been a problem for me.

Unfortunately, Hendrix says he can't get the Kumhos anymore.  Apparently,
they are no longer being manufactured in 165 size.  Vredesteins are what he
is selling now.

I have Kumhos on my LS430 Lexus and no issue. I am on my second set on my 89
Turbo Porsche which I have over 1000 track miles and no issue.

We purchased a '99 SL 500 two years ago with Kumho's installed.  They got
out of balance very quickly and act like the old nylon tires.  They seem to
get flat spots when sitting for a day or two.  The vibration will eventually
work out but they still seem to get out of balance frequently.  We live in
Florida so I have no experience in snow and very little in the rain.
Personally I wouldn't purchase them after this experience.
