155-15 should be a readily available size. That's the stock size of
many VW bugs. It seems to me that you might even be able to go up one
size to 165-15. Check around for places in your area that service older
VWs. The last time I checked Sears carried 165-15 though they didn't
have much of a selection and their price wasn't very competitive. I
ended up buying Pirellis for my '70 Bug. No complaints so far after 5
years use. You might check out Dunlop if you want to stay original (or
a least British).

The tires on my VW rub when I turn lock-to-lock but that only occurs
when a tight turn is required while backing out of a driveway or
parking. It's never been a problem during normal driving.
