I visited the Michelin web site, and left the following message... -Greg -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Hello, > >I am the administrator of the Volkswagen Type III email list, with several >hundred subscriber/enthusiasts located around the globe. Lately, a number of >folks on the list have recommended Michelin 165SR15 XZX tires for our >vehicles. > >However... some folks are reporting that their local Michelin shops no longer >can supply them with 165SR15 tires. Using your web site, I have found >that the >narrowest 15 inch diameter tire you list has a width of 185mm. > >Does Michelin no longer offer 165SR15 tires? This size is not only >correct for >the Volkswagen Type III, but for the Volkswagen Beetle--whose tire size >has remained >unchanged since the early 1950s up through today (it is still being >produced in >Mexico & Brazil!). Also, many Volvos share this tire size as well. > >Have you abandoned Volkswagen enthusiasts?
