Tires?

I am looking to replace the Kelly Metric Radial 165R15's on my speedster. Looking for some input on what I should buy. I have shopped around and my choices seem to be limited. Any advice would be appreciated.

Options are indeed limited for 165R15 tires. Consider a larger size but check clearances first. I suggest you go to tirerack.com for specifications, comparisons and ratings. This is an excellent resource.
Ron - I thought that too --- Terry's write up says he has "914" Riviera alloy wheels which were all 5 1/2 x 15. His photos do show those wheels to --- so perhaps a typo.
I used to have Rivieras on my car. the rears were 4-1/2" and could only handle 165's due to the offset. I am now running 4-1/2" mangles with 185's. I have had no problems with side flex with the 185's. I'll try and post some photos with my 'rudge style' wheels this weekend.
