Tall and narrow tires
I read no less than a dozen threads on minute details about skinnier tires. Found no clarity.
I ordered a pair of rear tires for my beetle. I didn't need them, but I have no spare tire. After a puncture yesterday that resulted in a new tire today, I decided that shall have a functioning spare albeit in the garage.
So, the car has 195/65r15 currently. Volkswagen has a large center bore which doesn't allow me to utilize the Subaru wheels I sourced.
Anywho, the vw wheels I found have smoked 195/60r15 on them. I ordered 165/80r15. They have an 87t rating so 1201 lbs and 118mph
These may migrate to the front if I ever find a space saver setup for the rear.
