About Set of 5 off 165 R 15 Michelin XZX
VW Beetle size
Longstone Classic Tyres has a long and deep association with the VW Bug, in that it’s too oldest employees had Beetles as their first cars. One being a standard 1974 Jeans Beetle and a 1972 1300 Bug. It is great fun when you first get on the road, but when you are driving a Beetle then the world is an all round brighter place.
- The first VW Beetle fitted 5.60-15 crossply tyres.
- Standard radial alternative to 5.60-15 is 155R15
- A slightly taller radial alternative is 165R15
For nimble light steering and sprightly acceleration then going with the standard 155R15 size will be the most fun tyre round wiggly roads. The 155 SR 15 Michelin X is the earliest tyre and was very much a tyre people fitted in period. Pirelli Cinturato 155 HR 15 CA67 Is a more sporty tyre in the size and was original equipment on all sorts of exotica such as a Lotus Elite or a Alfa Rome Giulietta. And the other top notch option would be the Michelin 155 HR 15 XAS.

White Wall Beetle Tyres
Currently these days, because we spend so much time on dual carriageways, often people like to fit a taller tyre like the Michelin 165 SR 15 XZX. Again more sporty options like the 165HR15 Pirelli Cinturato CA67 are available. Also currently being made are 165HR15 Michelin XAS (1965) and 165VR15 Pirelli Cinturato CN36 (1968) which were fitted to cars like the Porsche 911 & 912 back in period.
White Wall Beetle Tyres
Because the Volkswagen Beetle is such a cool car there are still loads on the road and the knock on effect is there is plenty of choice in these sizes which includes some white wall tyres. The 155R15 Galaxy White wall & 165R15 Galaxy White wall are great value.
