I got the 165r15 from Big-O-Tires. I think they were $35 a tire. You better replace those soon. My tires were very dry and rotted and I had the fortune of a rear tire shredding to bits on the freeway. Don't drive 80mph on bad tires. I guess that's common knowledge. As far as the 165sr15, I don't know if Big-O was able to get them. I am guessing those are more of a perfomance tire? -----Original Message----- From: Doug Brashear [mailto:dougbrashear@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 1:01 PM To: type3-d@vwtype3.org Subject: [T3] In need of TIRES Hello all, Out of lurk mode I come to ask you all another question. My Fastback is running fine, maybe in need of a rear brake adjustment but otherwise functioning well. However, my tires are on their 7th year, and dry-rotting badly. Unfortunately, 165SR15's don't seem to be as widely available as they once were. Anyone know of inexpensive sources for 165SR15's, or an alternative tire that would look good on a stock height Fastback running 8-spoke EMPI's? Many thanks in advance! - Doug :-) 73 Fasty ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
