[T3] Steel Belted Radial Tires Sizes?


Is  the 165r15 the size we should use? I think my squareback has 195R(60?) on
it. I remember running some tires like that on a bug.  What would be our
options on the Type 3's for tires, my 68 Squareback has the EMPI style 8
spoke wheels, but my 69 fasty has the stock (?) size chrome wheels.
