Title: 155/70/15 tyres available again! Post by: alex d on November 19, 2008, 17:56:02 pm I hear Michelin is making a 155/70 tyre, as far as I know they had been unavailable since a loooooong time ago, it may be a good alternative to those modern looking 165/65s without having to resort to narrow 145s or 135s

I would like to see a 165/70... ;) Title: Re: 155/70/15 tyres available again! Post by: Neil Davies on November 20, 2008, 08:40:39 am I've just got a pair of 155/70's for the front of the '72. I had to go lower profile as I can't squeeze anything bigger than a 185/65 under the back due to the dreadful offset of the MWS Empi 8's.
I'll get some pics when they're on next week. Title: Re: 155/70/15 tyres available again! Post by: alex d on November 21, 2008, 12:53:44 pm I've just got a pair of 155/70's for the front of the '72.

I can't wait till my 135s wear out so I can go to a normal width tire. Thanks for the tip. Title: Re: 155/70/15 tyres available again!

They are the same height as a 135, so if that's what you want they will work perfectly... if the added width doesn't get in the way of the fender lip. Title: Re: 155/70/15 tyres available again! Post by: Rennsurfer on November 23, 2008, 09:53:55 am Exactly, Zach... if the profile is the same as the 135, fine. I'm looking for more width and less motorcycle tire narrowness.
