- The classic tyre size 165 – 15 is a radial alternative to the size 5.90-15 and 5.60-15 cross ply tyres.
- Inner tube for 165 - 15: Michelin 15E Offset Valve Tube

- 165 - 15 can also be described as: 165/80 R 15, 165 x 15, 165/80 - 15 or 165 R 15
- We would suggest the 165 HR 15 Pirelli Cinturato CA67 for early Classic sports cars.
- The Pirelli Cinturato 165VR15 CN36 is perfect for Porsche and sports cars post 1968.
- Michelin's 165SR15 XZX is great for the VW Beetle. Michelin also now make the XZX 165R15 White Wall tyres.
- Low profile alternative for 165/80 - 15: 185/70 - 15.
- We would suggest a low profile alternative for a classic car that originally fitted 165-15 would be a 185/70VR15 Pirelli CN36, because it has a tyre carcass suited to early sports cars.
