   Just  FYI  the Vredesteins are also available in an "H" rated version;
   though  the  "S"  rated  is  sufficient for most of us (I have the "H"
   rated, well, just because ;)

Bob -

Don't know if anyone responded but the tire size for your car is 185/70R15.
Generally speaking the best all around tire available are Vredestein
1805/70R15s - if you can't find them locally you can get them from Autofarm
in Canada or Hendrix wire wheel on the east coast.  BWW may or may not have
them.

165/60 R15 is too small and the profile is too low!

I'm about to need new rubber on my BT7 MK2, currently I have very
unsatisfactory 165/60x15 size tires. Can folks give me some recommended
sizes for looks and performance. I have 72 spoke chrome wheels but
do not know the width, should be a standard that came from British Wire
Wheel
about 10 years ago.

Thanks,
Bob
