Some time ago, I checked the web sites of a lot of tire manufacturers and made this list which I sent to the list. I'll forward it again. Personally, I have Hankook 165R15 tires on my car, and am very pleased with them. Below is the mail I wrote back then, this was in September last year. PerL 73 Variant L Volks, I've searched through a few sites for tires in sizes 165R15 or 165/80R15, but they are few and far between. I have checked Continental, Michelin (including vintage section), General Tire, Uniroyal, Pirelli, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Marshal, Kumho, Sumitomo without any results. I have not searched BFG's site as it is mostly PDF's, and I have not checked out winter tires. The tires that I have found are from Nokian, Coker, Firestone, Dunlop, Kelly, Hankook: Nokian Rollster (no link) Coker Tire has some models, these are reproductions of old tire models from manufacturers as BFG, Michelin etc. Have a look at these links: http://www.cokertire.com/SizeView.asp?Size=165R15 http://www.cokertire.com/SizeView.asp?Size=60015 Firestone F-560 http://www.bridgestone-usa.com/products/FsF560.htm Dunlop SP 20 http://www.dunloptire.com/products/tire.html?tire=sp_20_metric Kelly Metric (All Season) http://www.kelly-springfield.com/products/auto/kelm.html Hankook 880 (155R15 - Beetle size!) http://www.hankooktire.co.kr/hantax/english/tire_product/tire/pcr/880.htm Hankook K702 http://www.hankooktire.co.kr/hantax/english/tire_product/tire/pcr/k702.htm Hankook Opti http://www.hankooktire.co.kr/hantax/english/tire_product/tire/pcr/opti.htm Hankook W401 (studded winter tire) http://www.hankooktire.co.kr/hantax/english/tire_product/tire/pcr/w401.htm It looks like we should make friends with Hankook, as they have no less than 4 styles to choose from in our dimension, including 1 winter tire. I have good experience with different Hankook tires, both on my Variant and my daily driver Audi, where I currently got 225/45R17 Hankook Ventus tires. ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
