Hello, Roger, AFAIK, the generally acknowledged size is 165.80.15.

I just picked up some new 165R15 sized tires at the local Firestone dealer. The 
brand name is Le Mans, actually made in the USA, in 2005, for right around 
$200, out the door. Wow, what a difference from the old flat-spotted bias plys 
from the '70's!
Best, Kevin Browne '59TR3A #58370
