Whatever tires you get from Hendrix, he will balance them properly when he does the mounting. If he can't balance them, he won't sell them to you. Steve Byers HBJ8L/36666 BJ8 Registry Havelock, NC US

I just put Kumhos on my BJ8 and really like them. I had Hendrix Wire Wheels do the mounting, balancing and truing of the wheels and it all worked out fine. Terry Coll '64 BJ8 http://autox.team.net/m

I can second the Vredstein's, decided to buy a new set of MWS 15" painted standard wheels and went for the vredsteins. Nice looking classic tread pattern, alot like the Michelins. cheers Andy _______

I actually think the Vredesteins suck. They follow the rain grooves and are very nervous feeling. The old Michelin XZX in 165 were nicer than these Vredesteins in 185/70. Yokohamas were also nice but

"Suck" is a little strong. :-) I have 185/70 Vredesteins on the 100 M and had them on the BJ8. They are a soft compound tire with a soft sidewall which, as Ken says, makes them a "very nervous feelin

I'm fairly ignorant on the subject, but I believe that I heard that the Kumhos are manufactured in a different country now than they used to be and the quality may be different? Robert Duquette Ottaw

Perhaps the size of the tires has something to do with your experience. Too much tire for a particular rim might make the handling nervous. I'd like to hear about a comparison between new 165 Micheli
