</div>same rule applies to old bottles of expensive wine. One can never be sure how it was stored prior to drinking.

Storage of rubber (tyres) should be dry, cool and dark. Covering in talcum powder may help. However I would still be nervous about the condition after 10 years as there is not much known how they keep up under those conditions.

Hi Guys, I believe the best way to store tires is in a dark place

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.

This is always a good subject, and one where the older archived posting may not be much help.
I put a set of Kuhmo 165/80R15 tires on my car about 5 years ago, and i think I paid just under $50 per tire. There were perhaps half a dozen similarly priced tires in this size. Now it seems choices for 165/80R15 are becoming scarce, too.

I know that this subject has been beaten around many many times but....
For anyone looking for a tire that is really close to the dimensions of those originally installed on our cars try these
http://m.tirerack.com/tires/TireResultsServlet?tab=ALL&width=165%2F&ratio=80&diameter=15&zipCode=#0
In all my years of Healeying I have never come across this size in a radial.
The inflated diameter is only 0.2" smaller than a Dunlop Road Speed.
Obviously not a "performance" tire...and made in China but, lets get real, by today's standards a Healey is not the epitome "state of the art" handling.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
