I have 2  Michelin 165-15s that while NOS would make for great concours
tires.   Does anyone have two more they want to sell to make a  set?


Ted, unless the ones you have are under 5-6 years old (NOS or otherwise), I  
wouldn't bother to buy two new ones just to "go Concours"! For one thing, the  
XZX tread wasn't available as far back as the TR4A; optional original 
equipment  back then would've been the "original" Michelin X. Besides, I'm not sure a 
 modern tire in the correct size would count against you regardless. Of 
course,  there seems to be very little currently available in that size nowadays. 
>From  personal experience, I'd say that the XZX was an ok tire 25 years ago, 
but  probably no better than current Kumhos (if they're still available).
