I think they came with 155x15. My 1967 owners manual says 5.6x15. I think that worked out to 155 but it has been nearly 2 decades since I had that car.

Oh right, aircooled! It's really been a long time since I had that Fastback.

Hil, Thanks for checking your manual. All the tips triggered a memory: "165/SR15" seems to resonate in the brain for my '73. I had the car from 1976 to 1990. A great car for hauling lots of stuff, good tracking in the snow and on ice, and good clearance for exploring old logging roads.
