>> Anyone know for sure what the sidewall percentage is? > > I believe that if the tire isn't marked, it is then determined to be an 80. > This seems to be the case with 165-15s that we use on our type3s. > An interesting thing to note is that when I removed the stock wheels the front had 165-15s and the rear 165/80-15. I mae a point to put them side by side in order to compare and found that the 165-15 where smaller in almost every way. I know that there will be differences from manufacturer to manufacturer (fronts were Michelin and rear Federal - cheap Aussie brand) but the 165/80-15s were noticeably taller.
