OK, I have looked and read a bit but can't find what i am looking for. I got this rim with a car and realized that the tire was 165 R15 and want to know if that is an original tire or tire size. The tire appears to be made by Lemans and is actually looking real good with no visible cracking. What say you??

in general it's the correct size, but it's the wrong speed index
originally used were: 165 SR 15 165 HR 15 in addition, it says M/S what means that it's a winter tyre I'd say that's a winter tyre from a VW bug but of course you could use it on a teener (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Gustl |
