- I'm about to replace the bias ply tires on my 1956 TR3 with radials. The correct size appears to be 165R15. I'm currently running 590-15 U. S. Royals on Dayton 48 spokers. My problem is I want to rep

- When I was in college (a long time ago) I put Michelin Xs on my first TR3A. Since they are no longer made I bought 5 Vredestien (Sp?) 165-HR15 for my current 1960 TR3A. The 5th one fits perfectly in

- I carry a 165/15 spare in my pre-60000 TR3A -- but it is deflated, has a coating of baby powder on both sides and a loop of nylon strapping around the back end for grabbing. I can get it out by sitti

- Nope, not on a 56. The 165 tires didn't come in until after TS60000 when the spare tire compartment got bigger. I did have a whole set of 155 tires from Europe (sorry, don't recall the brand offhand

- In addition to the tire size variation, I believe a period Dunlop 48 spoke was 4" wide, and a 60 spoke was 4.5", so all else being equal your sidewall will probably bow out a little farther with the

- Long thread ongoing about spare tire fitting on the TR Register Forum in the UK. Might be worth a read -- I believe this part of the forum is viewable by all. http://www.tr-register.co.uk/forums/inde

- I have a post TS60000 and the 60 spoke wheel mounted 165-15 is too tall to fit. But it snugly fits a 48 spoke mounted 165-15. So I have 60 spokes on the ground and a 48 spoke spare. TeriAnn ** triump

- Hi John, As you are the only one responding that fits a 165R15 tire (fully inflated, I'm assuming) into the TR3 spare compartment, I have a couple of questions: . is your 1960 TR3 perhaps post TS6000

- Thanks to all who responded to my question of what size radial fits the early TR3 tire compartment. The answer appears to be a 155SR15 on (in my case) 48 spoke wires (which are 4 inches deep). My nex
