5.60 - 15

What are the best 5.60 – 15 tyres?

We would suggest that the best tyres to fit a sports car like a Porsche 356, which originally fitted 5.60 X 15 crossply tyres, would be to upgrade to a 165 HR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67, a 165 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 N, or a 165-15 Michelin XAS.

A Porsche 356 benefits from a quality period radial tyre instead of the old 5.60 -15 crossply, and the Pirelli and Michelin are genuine period sports car tyres that Porsche actually fitted to the early 911.

What are the cheapest 560-15 tyres?

For cars like a Wolseley 15/50, an early 1960s Singer Gazelle, or a VW Beetle, we would suggest fitting a 155 TR 15 Michelin X or a 165 SR 15 Michelin XZX. The 155 R15 tyre is a more accurate radial alternative to a 560X15 crossply, and the 155 R15 will keep the steering more precise, light, and direct. The 165 R15 tyre will offer a slightly taller tyre and longer legs.

The Michelin X and XZX are lovely period saloon car tyres that offer a comfortable ride and period handling. However, if, for example, you had the Karmann Ghia, you might want to fit the 155HR15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 for more sporty handling. We don’t really have a 560-15 tyre that we are keen to recommend. People tend to prefer a radial tyre on modern roads.

What is the radial alternative to 5.60 -15 tyres?

The most accurate alternative to a 5.60 X15 tyre is 155 R15. We would recommend the 155HR15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 as a 1950s or 1960s sports car tyre, and the 155TR15 Michelin X as a more pedestrian classic car tyre. Often people like to go up a little in size and fit a 165 R15 under which circumstances we would suggest 165 HR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 for 1950s and 1960s classic sports cars. 165-15 Michelin XAS and 165 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 N for late 1960s and 1970s classic sports cars.

When you are looking for a radial alternative to a 560 – 15 tyre it is worth considering what you want. The correct alternative to 560X15 is 155R15. This will give the nicest handling, lighter, more precise, and kinder to the car. However people often swap the 5.60-15 crossply for a 165R15 tyre because it is taller for the gearing on motorways, which is good if you have the power, but a 155R15 tyre will be livelier and closer to a 5.60-15 crossply tyre.
