my current tire is a 195/60/R165

the car weighs between 2,400-2500 lbs.

ecomodder doesn't let me post links yet I don't have enough posts.

To see these very interesting and highly unusual tires please see:
"cokertire.com", and
click on "catalog"
then click on "tire size"
and go to R15(you must go to R15 it's not available in other sizes)
then click on 125/R15 or on 135/R15 (the 135 has the higher load rating)


one is a 125mm wide, the other is a 135mm with a substantially better load rating.
it was a giant pain to find wheels that would fit these tires and fit my bolt pattern, but I found them.

these tires are so narrow they looked like the dream mpg tire,
however, the info I see from metro mpg's tests show these might not work and it just baffles me. I really just can't understand how the doughnuts@70 psi didn't just rule the contest they're so skinny.

there is no center number for this tire,apparently they didn't have those back then. my guess is its like a 125/150/R15
