Hey folks, I'm just wondering what the consensus is on where to get some good 165SR15 tires these days? Any brands/stores to recommend (or avoid?)
Thanks

The overall handling will be dramatically improved if you go with 175/65 or even 185/65 in all 4 corners. The latter (at least) requires a 5.5" wheel, which as a combination is one large step for the better again. Try it, there's no way you'd believe the difference if you didn't. :)

I would go for narrower on the front to aid parking up, something like 175's rear 155 front perhaps. Everyone has their own preferences on this topic! I think 155's were factory issue circa 1970.
