Reading the MG Experience forums I bought Douglas tires at a great price. Taking off the old tires tonight I found they were Dunlop SP-20s made in 1999. Wow! The size on the tire was 165R15. Without looking and going by the recommendation of the MG Experience web site I bought 14 inch tires. Crap. Now I have to try to take them back. They have not been mounted so they are still just like I got them. My question is, what the heck size tire should I get for a 15 inch wire wheel rim? The MG Experience forum is saying 185/70 R15 is closest, (1/4 inch smaller) but not readily available for a decent price. A 185/65 R15 is the next most popular tire, but smaller in diameter by an inch than the Dunlops I am taking off. 165R15 tires are 25.65 inches in diameter.
