I'm looking for some tyres just to slap on some wheels to roll a project around on.
If anyone has a set of tyres, condition unimportant really, I'd be very interested in them.
Looking for any of the following sizes really (ideally pairs of the same size)
165/70 15
165/75 15
165/80 15
175/70 15
175/75 15
175/80 15
Ideally as cheap as possible and as close to Bristol as possible too please?
Many thanks.

I've been looking for similar sized tyres recently and found them an absolute pig to source.
165 80 15 is VW bay size which may help
185 65 15 is MUCH more common if you go that wide?
good luck

Tony - 165/80R15s are easy to find new - several of the online tyre sites list a good selection from cheap ditchfinders to good quality brands (Vredestein & Continental) at sensible money to OEM spec / period styles (Vredestein & Michelin) for £££. This size was used on loads of '60s cars - off the top of my head - MGA, Volvo Amazon & 100 series, Beetle etc.
Bruce, how much of a hurry are you in? I have a set of four Vredestein that will be available once a new set is fitted, & you'd be very welcome to them. Currently road legal, but nearing the end of their usable life hence being due for replacement.

Thanks guys, it seems they can be hard to source, or command quite a price over more common tyres, even part worns. Paul H - That would be awesome, thanks.  I'm probably after a set fairly soon (within the next fortnight really) because I'll be needing to fit them to a car I might be buying - a car which currently has wheels but no tyres. And buying wheels for this particular PCD isn't exactly the most economical route when I'll just be using them to roll it onto a trailer and off again etc... If you think that might fit into your schedule then I'll certainly be happy to sling you some beer tokens as a thank you. |

Got a pair of 205/70/15's for £15 if any good.
1 budget with nearly full tread & other is bridgestone with quite a bit of tread but it's had black goo repair - held air though.
