I'm after a couple of 15" tyres 165 or less for the front of my beetle to suit my newly powdercoated cheese cutters. Tried all the tyre co's around Brissy Nankangs are all i can get any opinions or help appreciated...want them before action day so I can lower the front some more.....

Lower profile?
you do realise that this will muck with your speedo reading...
:O
but you'll look like you're going faster than you actually are...
which is safer in these times of insano speed cameras. give australia's best tyre service a call, they WILL have what you want, as long as you can say what rims you have (width and height)
yaaaahhhhhhh
:jesus

Aust best tyre service ? I could only find one brand Nankangs just hope they don't look like light truck tyres. Tried every where everyone had Nankangs only.

I just got some Continental 145/65 15's for my sisters kombi they look awesome, they were $145ea, or you could try some Michellin 125r15's like ive got on the front of my bug they were $90ea from Bob Jane T-marts.

Thanks Phat i will see if i can get some michelins 125's sound good

i'm actually after some front tyres also...too much scrapping...will those sizes be availbla in 4.5" for stock rims?

Couldn't find 125r15's nankangs don't look real good but may have to do.

Hi,

I've got the Michelin price list in front of me and the only Michelin XZX in there is the 165R15. That should set you back about $136 including GST.

I wouldn't touch Nankang with a 10 foot pole.

Continental make a 145/65R15 called the EcoContact. It should set you back about the same at $135 including GST. The distributor for Contis is tyres4u.com.au

If I could recommend a Yokohama to you I would but they don't make one in that size.

Thanks everybody dropped the nankangs in favour of some khumo's haven't seen yet but they've gotta be better than nankangs, they were shockers.
