Please can someone advise on correct tyre size for 1972/3 my 164?
The car has four recently fitted 165-15 S rated but the spare that really looks like (and previous owner claims) has never been on the car is 175-15 (pirelli cinturato)
The handbook says either 165 or 175 are used in different markets but most write-ups eg old road tests say 175 HR 15.
For both sizes when I look at tyre retailers on the net they also need to know the profile number (eg 175-65-15) but my tyres do not have one on the side. What would be appropriate?
Thanks
Jonathan
