Looking to get a pair of 165 80 15's tires for my weld wheels, don't really want to buy the mickey thompson. If any of you know where i can get these size tires it would be appreciated, because i'm not having any luck finding them. Thanks Robert

Have you tried to order a 165R15?

I know a guy up above Chattanooga has a good bit of them.

His name over on Streetcarforums.com is mac_05evo

Yea...they're just called 165-15... I have a local tire shop here in Bessemer which carries them..like $39 apiece. They always have at least a pair in stock too.

If you have a link or phone # i would like to give them a call, cause like i said i'm having trouble finding them. I called bob's tire in attalla and he don't stock them anymore but i would appreciate a # or something, thanks

Yeah, i've looked up tire stores on yellowpages.com and nothing everybody says they've been discontinued or they don't have them in stock and they don't know when they can get them. Guess i'll be buying mickey thompsons sportsman tires
