Nice looking tire, but being an 80 it might be a little wide for original rims, maybe not. PJ

The 80 refers the the height/ width ratio,. You will find that a 165 / 80 is what the orig tire size would work out to be.

I must be doing something wrong. All I get is a page showing the logos of the brands that they rep. Bud

MICHELIN Coker now has them at $ 136. each.

I have not, but the fact they are made in China was enough for me to not do any further investigation when looking for new tires for Bill's TF a few months ago. We went with the Michelins from Coker. Expensive but a nice tire.

I tried a few tires from Coker, but returned them,, maybe I just got the bad ones.

Bud, did you copy and paste into your browser, or did you click on the link? Won't work if you just click on the link.

I got some of the Michelins from Coker and they are made using the original molds in a Michelin plant in Serbia. George

You've got it, Larry. Copy/paste gets a different URL. Bud

I bought those tires for my TF, attracted by price and delivery.. No problems at this point (approx. 1000 miles. Balanced without difficulties and still seem good. I don't drive too aggressively in my TF so guess it depends on your aspirations: there are more suitable cars in which to release one's driving demons, IMHO.
I have no proof but suspect they are the same as the Firestone 165-80x15 vintage radial, perhaps made in the same factory #27 outside Shanghai?
