[TR] TR3 Tire Sizes

[wbeech]

Discount Tire has an Arizonian metric.

I just mounted a set of Nankang 165/15 ($250. mount/bal/new tubes) from Burt
Brothers and am quite happy with them.  The guy let me stand there and
supervise everything, we even marked the best two(least runout) while it was
on the spin-balalncer to put on the front.

Bill,

The Cooper 165/15 are no longer made.

I was able to locate a set 2 years ago during the start of my 4 restoration.

They are a nice tire if you can get a set.

My local dealer had about 20 or so 2 years ago, mainly for Bugs he said.
