This topic I'm sure has been covered many times however, I need to plow this ground again because I don't have a clue. What size tire came on the original 2.0 factory Fuchs.
Thanks |

195X65-15 but I don't think you can actually get that size. Harvey Wiedman has collected a few never used spares for the concours weenies but no one should drive on them.
Try 205X50-15? |

Harvey Wiedman has collected a few never used spares for the concours weenies but no one should drive on them. Try 205X50-15? Rob, that wasn't the original OE tire size, but the later factory recco'd tire size to replace the originals once they were NLA in the 90's. The originals were 165HR15 - which were 165/80HR15 - & those are again available in a range of modestly priced tires, up to repro's of the Michelins & Pirrellis at $200+ each. tomh - go to the Originality & History Forum's nailed topic on Wheels & Tires for more info on them. You can look on the Lucas Tires website in Long Beach CA for a good selection in that size, as well as on their UK partner Longstone Tyres website for others available, which Lucas can also get for you. http://www.lucasclassictires.com/165R15_c70.htm http://www.lucasclassictires.com/165R15_c70.htm You can also google for 165R15 & 165/80R15 for other sellers, & Coker, Universal, etc. will be in there too. Good Luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
