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

Not many skinny 15s available anymore
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.
Regards,
CT Hansen

shockers.
