All of > the US production cars came with 6.00-15 BIAS ply tires. I thought that by the early 70s radials were an available factory option. Doesn't the tire pressure chart on the glove box door show pressures for radial tires by 71? I have nothing to support this, and I don't find an M-code for radial tires. I just went and looked at the microfilm and noticed for the first time that it doesn't show any tires at all. Hmmm, that must mean that they never came from the factory with tires. ;-) -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
