180HR15 as well and I plan to buy a set. Another benefit is they will slightly
improve ground clearance and every bit helps. However, the minimum rim width for
the 180HR15 is 4.5". I believe all of the 48 spoke wire wheels have a width of
4" and are too narrow. Most of the 60 and 72 spoke rims are 4.5" wide or
more.</font></span></div>

<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>
