Hi

I own a '68 Volkswagon automatic bug and need new tires. The tire
size is 165R/15, but they've discontinued that tire size Can someone
recommend a replacement size?

Thanks a lot,

Mig

hi mig... i just joined this board ... looking for tranny advice... i saw your post and suggest you use the 165/80R15 which is the common replacement for the 165r15. they are 25.4" in O.D. and 6.5" in S.W. i happen to be a dealer/distributor and would be happy to set you up if needed... 281.324.3464
