Nick,
Thanks a million for the reply.  You and the List have been very generous with
advice -- much appreciated by me.

Hi Pat

> you mention Coopers.  Any thoughts on Hercules tires?

  The Cooper Sportmaster GLT is a great tire, if you can find it (out of
production).  The same tire was also sold under the Mastercraft name, but of
course that model disappeared at the same time.  Coker used to sell a
"Lexington" 165R15 which looked very similar and might have come from
the same factory, but that's gone now too.
  Dunno about Hercules.  As far as I know, the only 165R15's left are
Nankangs, Nexens, Klebers, Vredesteins, and various offerings at Coker
(whitewalls, Michelin reproductions, etc).
