Ron glad you started a tire thread - been a while. :)
I toyed for many many years (well over 20) before finally replacing the 185/15 Mich redlines. Just could not find the tall tire like I wanted without paying large $. Finally settled on the Vred 185/15. They fill up the wheel well like I wanted and are taller than the 165s. To me the 165s look anemic in the opening, esp the BJ8 which sits taller anyway. Less than 400 miles on tires but they ride and grip ok. Not a huge fan of the sidewall. Hope this helps.

An alternative could be the Vredestein or Michelin 185/75 or 195/70R15 size tyres.

Hello list. It has been awhile since I had a question for the group.
I need to replace my 12 year old Michelin ZX175R15 tires on my ‘61Austin Healey with modern tubeless wire wheels.
The only ones I can find that are close to that size are Michelin XZX 165SR15 or Vredestein 165HR15.
Opinions on these??
Recommendations for a tire shop in Southern California that knows how to mount and balance wire wheels?
Thanks,
Ron Fine
