These have effectively been superceeded by radials which would be 165SR15. If you go to a lower profile of 165/70SR15 they will certainly fit and work, but your speedometer and odometer will be off. You could certainly use non-radial 165/70-15s, too, but I don't think you would save much money and you'd have the same problem with the speedometer. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
