Anybody have a source for the original tire sizes for 4 cyl cars? I think they were 165/80R15. The only product that seems to be available is from Nankang, model CX-668. Anyone have experience with these?
Thanks |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=115150&st= In a pinch, you can use 165SR15 or 165/80R15 TR tires by Vredestein in SR & HR, Michelin XWX (SR), Bridgestone (TR), & Kumho makes a nice one in SR that a lot of the 356 guys like & it's about $70 IIRC. As you'll read, your 2.0 factory spec is for a 165HR15 (165/80R15 HR) which is good up to about 139 mph sustained, whereas the 1.7/1.8 spec'd a 165SR15 (& 155SR15 on early 70-72 1.7s) good up to about 115 mph. The TR rated ones are good up to about 118 mph, so they can pass & the 356 & 912 guys use them too. Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
