Roger,


The Michelin XAS 180-15 looks very good to me. Is there a US supplier?


Thanks.

165-15 tires are all a little smaller in diameter compared to the original 590-15 cross ply.
Maybe consider the Mich. XAS 180-15 tires that are 3% taller and so fit better in the wheel wells, but you do have to be careful with some clearances.
I am very happy with mine after about 4k mi

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
