Many of the old 6.00 x 15 bias ply tires had really square "corners" which made them appear a lot taller, but the actual difference is insignificant. The 165SR15 XZX should run with no speedo or odo error. > 2) How much air should I put in the tires? (The front and rear trunks are > essentially empty.) On a fasty, I would put 20psi in front and 28 in back. People commonly overinflate the fronts and this leads to poor handling. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
