<p>The Michelin XAS 180-15 looks very good to me. Is there a US

<div>165-15 tires are all a little smaller in diameter
compared to the original 590-15 cross ply.</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div>I am very happy with mine after about 4k mi</div>

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