I have researched this topic on Samba unsuccessfully. I have a 69 beetle with stock rims. I could not locate 165/80/15 tires to replace the stock 5.60/15 tires in San Diego. Discount Tire has 185/65/R15 and 155/60/R15 in a reasonable price range. No one has mentioned using 155/60/R15 tires. Any opinions on which of these tires would be acceptable or should I order something else on line?

Discount tire does have kumho in the 165R15 80. Ask them to check their main warehouse. I just got mine a couple of weeks ago here in Colorado. They can ship from here if need be.

Thanks, the Walmart price looked good. I will also recheck with Discount Tire and get a price on the Kumho's.
