- 165 R15 can also be described as: 165/80 R 15, 165 x 15, 165/80 - 15 or 165 R 15
- We would suggest the 165HR15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 for early classic sports cars.
- The 165 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 N is perfect for Porsche and sports cars post 1968.
- Michelin's 165SR15 XZX is great for the VW Beetle. Michelin also now make the 165R15 Michelin XZX Whitewall.
- Low-profile alternative for 165/80 R15: 185/70 R15.
- We would suggest a low-profile alternative for a classic car that originally fitted 165 R15 would be a 185/70VR15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36, because it has a tyre carcass suited to early sports cars.

165/80-15
A: The 165 R15 Michelin XZX is a great tyre to fit to a VW Beetle. Beetle generally fitted 5.60 – 15 as a standard crossply, so a 155 R15 Michelin X is also an excellent option for a VW Beetle.
A: The TR6, and for that matter, the TR4, TR5 and TR3A is the 165 – 15 Pirelli Cinturato. The 165 R15 Michelin XAS is also brilliant. Many owners of these cars like a wider car in which case the 185/70 R15 Pirelli Cinturato CN36, is best. They do however handle better with a 165 R15. As the TR2 and TR3 are better suited to a 155 R15 Pirelli Cinturato
A: Michelin now make an excellent range of classic white wall tyres, which includes the 165 R15 Michelin XZX white wall tyre.
