<DIV>First, thanks to all for the input on tires. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have Dayton wire wheels and the Michelin ZX tires I am replacing are
tubeless. Am I correct that the Michelin 180HR15 XAS require a
tube? </DIV>

size=2 face=Arial>Roger pointed me in the direction of the Longstone Michelin
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>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>
