Hi folks!

I'm looking for 135 15inch tyres
I really like the stance of the front of this car, but i don't know what profile they are. I'd like to do the same on the front, 135 x 15's with porta walls close to the ground (50 or 55 profile i'm guessing?)


The only 135 tyres i can find have an 80 profile for a 15 inch wheel. Way too tall!!!

Any idea where i can find some tyres like this?

Or tyres like on the bagged bug?



I can't find them anywhere!!!!

Both pictures show cars with narrowed beams..
tyres are measured 135 mm wide 80% tall in this case the tyre would be 106mm tall
looks like thats what's on those cars

So if i manage to score a set of 135 tyres for a 15inch and the guy tells me they're an 80 profile, they will end up being the same tyres as in those pics?

Yeah pretty much most 135's you get will be that aspect ratio. The flappers won't sit flush, but they'll still give your wheel a good look. Most places should be able to get Nangkang 135's for around $80 - $90. Anything more than that and you're paying too much.

can you still get the mishelin 135's? i had them on my car when i had stocko's on it, they were a sweet tyre. so sticky for the little things they are

I found some Michelin 135's, they're still out there. But they were over $250. To me that is just insane for 1 corner. That was from Jax.

Found a few places that do the Nankangs. Delux (sasha) down in Melbs stocks them, or just give Nankang in Melbs a call.

How much for the Nankangs?
