Where can I get 5.60 16 tyres?

Heidenau in (Eastern) Germany produces the correct 5.00-16 tires for a Split Beetle. KdF-Wagen and some early post war 40´s Beetles used 4.50-15 available from Firestone. Many tire manufacturers offer 5.00/52.5-16 but that is incorrect and too large though it can be used (Excelsior, Avon etc.).

Thank you for the help. I thought it was the same width as later, just different diameter.

Would these tyres work to put on all 4 wheels?

... been thinkin' >

… And as an alternative, Jim, from OKC, OK. ran "space- saver" 16s, on his 1950 original rat rod as described in VW Trends, back in the day - when this car was running around Germany, driven by Jim, when in the USAF...

I've tried space saver 5:25 16 black walls (on the front, in this case) and they are an awesome alternative - bet you can find them, at a reasonable price at any local salvage too - what a great idea - thanks Jim... z

not sure why you're looking at space saver spare tyres as they are speed limited and designed for temporary use...
