Title: Wheel Tire Sizing..
Post by: kirin on December 07, 2005, 01:16:56 PM

Hey Guys,
I'm wanting to put a smaller front tire on my 62 beetle thats lowered. Right now it sits a little low in the back. I don't quite get the tire sizing. I'm running 135-75 R15's right now all around. I've been told what I want to look for is something similar to a smart car tire? I wouldn't mind it being as wide as the stockies if not wider but they need to be a lower profile.. Anybody want to help me out?

smart car tire that you are looking for, front 145-65-15 rear 175-55-15.
For the front you will want the rear 175-50-15's. We can get them for you $99.95ea reg $130.75ea all season.

Same sizing all around Matt.

Geoff,
When I get a bit more flush after the holidays I'll be ordering some tires!
