165/65 /15 was for Toyota Prius in Japan at 99 or 00.The size is really popular for air cooled VW there. I am looking for it here in The US. Does anybody know the size? I can not find it. |

The size is 165 65r15. They aren't sold here. I tried to find them over a year ago as well. Good luck. _________________ die schwarzen Schafe #666 |

The height is inbetween a 135 and 145 15 but with a slightly wider contact patch
So anyway,where in the US can you get these? _________________ die schwarzen Schafe #666 |

So I guess the only way I can get them is either through Japan or the UK? International shipping will kill me but it will be worth it,as I'll have the only set in town _________________ die schwarzen Schafe #666 |

165/65/15 tires are avaliable on Michelin.
You can find them at all Michelin sellers in Europe & Asia...
I still use them on my 68 Notch. _________________ Engines in the rear, water to the river, |

Large selection of companys do that size tyre here for the uk market, but they all seem to be in a winter tyre
search for that size and click the winter option
