Joe,
I was in an NTB store last week and they also can get, a 165R15 tire,
probably the same one, since according to the Big-O website NTB, Tire
Kingdom, and Merchant Tire are affiliated somehow with Big-O but in
different areas of the USA. Fortunately for us, VW Beetles use the same
size. And you are correct, they do have a more vintage look to them
that works better with our old cars.
