As far as i know Michilen still make a 135/15 and any decent tyre shop should be able to order them in for you.

Antique Tyre Supplies in Melbourne can do Firestone or Coker 135's as of yesterday.

I,m running 145/65x15 Continentals on the front of my wifes '71 Beetle on Empi 8 spokes. These tyres are standard fittment on Merc Smart Cars. We've used 135s and 145s Michies but I reckon that the Contis' are a nicer looking tyre, although Rhett (Phat Bug) is running 125 Michies on the front of the PHAT VW without any problems.

You can get Firestone 125, 135 145, 155 from Antique tyres in melbourn (special order) and Michi's 135's. They are still being prodused, but a little hard to get, as they are a french made tyre, and all the dealers in Oz deal with MIchillin USA.

N!

They still make them cause the frog cars use them like 2CVs and a guy at work had some 135/15s Michs on an old Citroen that were new.:thumb
