165 R 15 Michelin XZX
The Michelin XZX 165 R 15 is a great value tyre considering its quality, this set of 5 tyres makes them extra good value. We also have:
VW Beetle Tyres
Longstone Classic Tyres has a long and deep association with the VW Bug, in that it’s too oldest employees had Beetles as their first cars. One being a standard 1974 Jeans Beetle and a 1972 1300 Bug. It is great fun when you first get on the road, but when you are driving a Beetle then the world is an all round brighter place.
VW Beetle size
- The first VW Beetle fitted 5.60-15 crossply tyres.
- Standard radial alternative to 5.60-15 is 155R15
- A slightly taller radial alternative is 165R15
For nimble light steering and sprightly acceleration then going with the standard 155R15 size will be the most fun tyre round wiggly roads. The 155 SR 15 Michelin X is the earliest tyre and was very much a tyre people fitted in period. Pirelli Cinturato 155 HR 15 CA67 Is a more sporty tyre in the size and was original equipment on all sorts of exotica such as a Lotus Elite or a Alfa Rome Giulietta. And the other top notch option would be the Michelin 155 HR 15 XAS.
Currently these days, because we spend so much time on dual carriageways, often people like to fit a taller tyre like the Michelin 165 SR 15 XZX. Again more sporty options like the 165HR15 Pirelli Cinturato CA67 are available. Also currently being made are 165HR15 Michelin XAS (1965) and 165VR15 Pirelli Cinturato CN36 (1968) which were fitted to cars like the Porsche 911 & 912 back in period.
White Wall Beetle Tyres
Because the Volkswagen Beetle is such a cool car there are still loads on the road and the knock on effect is there is plenty of choice in these sizes which includes some white wall tyres. The 155R15 Galaxy White wall & 165R15 Galaxy White wall are great value.
VW Beetle Tyre Prices
Currently we have on special offer a couple of real bargains for VW Beetle owners. There is an attraction to the Michelin XZX as it is a period tyre made for cars just like the beetle; relatively light weight and fun cars. The XZX offers good grip and comfort and the tread design of the XZX offers excellent wet road performance.

These are the perfect tire for my MG TD.

Marked improvement in both ride and handling over the elderly American Firestones they replaced.\nThe tyre fitter had some problems with balancing which suggests that they might not be made to quite the same specification as those that were produced in the 70's.
