I went to order a set of tires for Clementine at my local tire shop thinking
they may not be able to get them since I do live where pick-ups and muscle
cars are king as far as classic cars go. To my surprise not only can they
get the 165R15 but they had a pair in stock.  I said that's odd since they
only fit a few imports mainly air cooled VWs.  He said oh that's not what
most people who buy these use them for. Most use them on the front of a
Mustang or Camaro that are drag racing as we do have a few tracks in our
area. That's why they just keep a pair in stock.  So maybe the drag race
people will insure a tire source for me for a while at least.

Got the tires today. Here is what they look like.  They are called Classic
All weather and are made in China.  Good or bad it's all my tire guy could
get. Like I said before they can't be too bad if they can hold up the front
of a V-8 car down the drag race car going 140 MHP +.  A stock T-3 won't be
as rough on them. Now how they will handle and ride is a different story.
