I spoke directly with Kumho a few weeks ago and was told that they no longer manufacturer 165 x 15 tires. Any Kumho 165 x 15 tires you find will be from old production runs so you may want to check the date code on the tire.

From my research, that leaves Vederstein and Michelin as manufactures of 165 x 15 tires. Michelin has a very limited production run of these tires each year. Cocker is the best usually for the Michelins, but they usually sell their allotment before they receive the tires.

I priced the Vederstein 165 x 15 Sprint Classic tire with EuroTire, Tire Factory, and XK’s Unlimited. Bill at XK gave me the best price, “on sale” at $99.00 plus shipping. Shipping was $80 for 5 tires.

Might be worth checking out JEGS for Vredestein pricing as well. Not sure what zip code you are shipping to, but may even come in less than XK quoted. They have them in stock and ship the next day. Put mine on the new Dayton wires and couldn't be happier with them.

Not sure if Jim (the OP) is still looking, but appears to be a few Kumhos here:

Seems like Kumho production in 165/80 15s occurs in fits and starts as (IIRC) they went thru a spell of NLA a year or two ago. Perhaps some manufacturers do a run of a low-demand size then suspend production for awhile.
