Need help finding 165/175/185 x 15 tires

[ptrsbtrs]

Can anyone offer info on where to get new tires for 4.5 x 15 wheels?
preferably older style radial type tires, ( xwx,dunlop, etc)? Thanks.
I looked at tire rack, discount tires, and they say out of stock at this time, or nothing available
Thanks and Froehliche Weinachten!

Vredstein makes tires for that size.

Im using 175/65 15 on my 356 but on 6" rims. Prius size.

The fastest/easiest/least-expensive choice would be Vredestein's 'Sprint Classic' . . .

(These're on my car, so . . .)

The prettiest/authentic/high-end choice would be Coker's (nee-Michelin) 'XWX' re-pop --- aka 'chubbies' . . .

A 'right-brain'/period-correct/seldom seen+used alternative are Pirelli's 'CN-36' . . .

(These're actually on my Kardex, so . . .)

I have never seen folding chairs with the width extensions below the seat backs like that. It looks bigger than standard 18.75" width.

Mike,
Not sure what you're used to; that's standard government issue for schools in the Starch Belt.

Peter, I have 165 Vredestein Sprint Classics on 4.5x15 steelies on my '66 and I really like them. If you're interested, Group 2 Motorsports in Seattle carries 'em.

I think AAse Sales still has the CN36 in a 185/70-15 size
