[Healeys] Tires AGAIN

[Michael Salter]

Yes Tom quite true. I didn't know that Kuhmo made that size ever... I would
have jumped on a set for sure..
I have been searching for 165/80 15 tires for about 40 years and these
Classic All Seasons are first I have ever seen in that size...
I know tires deteriorate with age but given how hard i had to look to find
these I going to buy another set...I'm betting that they won't be around
for long.
