I have a set of 15x3.5 skinnys I need front tires for. No tire store seems to be able to comprehend that a 185 is too wide. What size do I need? Trying to pick them up friday or saturday

It is just 165/15. Technically the aspect ratio would be 83%.

They're old school vw tires Kev, that's why there's no aspect ratio. I think tire discounters can get em too.

I can get 185/65/15s in a few different brands. Or you can step down to a 185/60 too. I get them local so i can have them same day.
