That is a seriously good deal.  The quote I had was almost $550.  

Have you noticed a difference in handling?

Also,  contact Wallace Wade tires in Dallas.  They  have a lot of sizes and 
specs that most tire stores don't have.

My last  set of 165s were only $110 through them.

I  haven't been able to find the Hankook 08s, I have found the 07s on line at  
tire rack.  I called my local VW shop and they can't get them  either.  He 
recommended a similar tire with a reinforced sidewal but  the cost he gave me 
for mounting and balancing was almost $140 per  tire.  Which seems outrageous 
when Drew is paying $78.  

Eric where did you buy your tires?  I can easily drive to  Houston if I need 
to.

I  too have the Hankook RA08's installed on my '66.
Great tires.
They did  a lot to fix the wind loading on the sides of the  driving
billboard.
