Re: Tires


I have stock 165/70 R15.  However, they are on 8 spoke wheels and I get
some ub on the front fender arches when hitting a bump while cornering
(even worse with extra passengers).

However, there was a red '65 notch in hot VWs (NOV) that had real nice
5-spoke wheels with 165 R15 rear and 145(/70?) R15 front.  I thought
that was interesting.  Everyone seems to like wider tires, but these
were the opposite.  I wonder how it affects the ride and handling? 

Does anyone make 165's with that are less than 70s?  I haven't shopped
for  these kinds of tires in a while, so I'm not familiar.
