185/65/15 tyres

Post by Blitzkrieg »

Does anyone know where to get these tyres from?

I believe that they are fitted to the Honda Jazz and a few other small cars, and when it's time to replace them, the fitment centres usually replace them with 195/60/15s :roll:

So far, the three tyre places that I have phoned don't keep them and are not interested in sourcing them...

as per Tony Z try Tiger Wheel. The reason most people replace them 195's is price. 185's are generally double the price.

My uncle works at a Kia Motors dealership, the Kia Cerato comes with a 185/65/15 sparewheel.
Waiting for him to get back to me with a price for a set of four, with a healthy discount :wink:

The fact that they are Kumho tyres doesn't really sway me :|
