Robert,

I understand your point but 165X15 IS the original radial size for BN2s
onward.  An no, they do not fill up the wheel well as do the bias ply
tires.  Actually the 175X15's have the same rolling diameter as the original
bias ply's and is probably what the factory should have used as a radial
tire option.
