72 square. Stock height. Daily driver, not a trailer queen. I'm located in the US.

I read the FAQ tire links.. and searched.

I'm looking for an online retailer for the stock (or close enough to stock) 165R15 tires

Recommendations? Links? Quality would be nice.

Will these fit?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Those are them. You can also find 165's on ebay and in thin whitewall which is classy. And expensive.

I have bought nankangs in the usa and used then on a daily driver fine, for a better tyre I would probably try the conti's

I run the Vredestein sprint classics and I'm very happy with them

Or Kumho "Power Star 758" 165/80R-15, which I purchased on sale from Discount Tire for the same price as Nankang. They fit perfectly on my '73 stock height Squareback with stock wheels, are quiet, and have decent wet weather performance for a stock size tire.

BTW - 165/80R-15 is the closest modern tire you can find to the old 165R-15, except for the repro tire makers like Coker.

Yup, I'm running those tires on my 64 T-34. Just put 2900 miles on them over the last 2 weeks. Very quiet, depending on the pavement. :wink: I too got them from Discount tire.
