Hello,
The PO installed 3 very good tires Centennial MKII and 1 very good Toyo 300 on my car. I would like to match the tires and have found out that these tires are no longer produced. I have checked around but no one has any old stock, I also called Toyo and Dunlop/Goodyear. I am assuming that the Riviera's are 4.5 in wide since the 165 fits well on the rim, is this true, if not what is the widest tire I can fit on the rim? Also were can I get tires for this diameter/width rim no one seems to carry 165R15's? I am working on other things on the car and eventually will go with a set of 5.5's (or larger) but just can't swing it now. Thanks, Dan |

the Riv's should be 5 inch, i use yoko avs db in 195 65 on my Rivs. they are quite, handle great, and have great wet and snow traction. the set on the rear of my car has 20 k on them and they still have plenty of tread, but i drive the car hard and burn up fronts in about 10 k. i dont rotate em because for me buying 2 tires every 10 k is better than 4 every 15 k. also at tire rack they are like 67 bucks iirc.
