165/45/15
Anyone know where I could get these, think they stopped making them over here. But in Japan I think they still do "PIRELLI DRAGON" in that size. Bit of a fooked up size, not fussed on what brand they are, more for looks tbh but I don't want 165/50/15.
Any where stock rare size tyres? gonny try Pirelli direct to see what they say, but if anyone know's of any other brands that do/did this size it would be a great help!

Not sure dude. Was going to suggest Nangkang but mate has just said it comes in a 165/45/16 size. D'oh!
Get on www.wheel-whores.com and have a gander there. One of the guys will know

cheers, been looking through wheel whores. Hate singing up just to ask one question, may have to though.
Nankangs do a 165/40/16 too
May sound extreme but has any ever imported tyres?

I've never personally imported any but I know my local place can get anything that the manufacturer makes, they were able to get funny sizes usually within a week as there were regular shipments.
Do you have a brand who currently manufacture?

As far as am aware "PIRELLI DRAGON" are still being made in Japan. Have you any contact details of this tyre place? In theory there shouldn't be a problem getting them imported if there still being made, thats in theory though.
