Re: [T3] Auto Transmission

The early rims are 4.5 J x 15.

Tire info from my '61 shop book (Supplement 3, dated 8.65):
Notchback - 6.00-15L  (4PR)
Squareback - 6.00-15L 6PR
T-34 - 6.00 S 15 L  (also reinforced because of "the high speeds of the
Karmann Ghia")

My '63 Squareback has the original (AFAIK) whitewall Continental spare, it
says 6.00-15L.  No 6PR marking, hmmmm.  Maybe something to do with the
whitewall?

I have photos of some non-original Continentals, they say 6.00x15 4L.
