155/70/15 tyres available again!

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

It's a little bit on the short side, but it is nice to have another option I wonder what the tread pattern will be??

I would like to see a 165/70...

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.

Thank God. I can't wait till my 135s wear out so I can go to a normal width tire. Thanks for the tip.

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.

[Rennsurfer]

Exactly, Zach... if the profile is the same as the 135, fine. I'm looking for more width and less motorcycle tire narrowness.
