Where Can I Buy 165 SR 15 Tires for my '73 Beetle.
Hello!
I am having trouble finding tires for my '73 Beetle. It has stock 15 inch 4.5 rims. I would like to keep using 165 SR 15 tires. What could I use as an alternative or do I have to buy the 5.5 15 inch wheels and use the 185 SR 15 tires? Any help is appreciated. |

Discount tire and Big-O tires(both local chains to me) have been able to special order them. I haven't been able to find them in stock locally for quite a while. If that's not an option, CIP has them for 65 each http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails....C%2DC10%2D6655 Chris |

Call the 800 number at Premier Tire (Denver, Mountain Time) http://www.premiertire.com/ At the website, click on Passenger Car in the left column. I think they don't show every make of tire that they sell. I bought 155-15 Vredestein tires, which are even rarer than 165-15, from this company several years ago that were reasonably priced (about $45), and they have held up well. The charge for shipping was reasonable, too. Other people at RAMVA have spoken well of Vredestein. Even if the web site doesn't show it, there's a chance they sell other makes of 165-15. Randall |
