A tire size would look like 205/65R15. You need all three numbers.
First number is section width in millimeters. so thats 205 mm.
2nd number is aspect ratio, or % of section width. That gives you the size of the sidewall.
R stands for radial tire. If your tire oes not have an R on it, it is not a radial tire.
last number is the rim size. In this case, this rim is 15 inches.

So, if you would so kindly tell me the 3 numbers I need to know, and I can check stock. 165's are hard to come by because they are not a popular, or a tire in production anymore really. Good luck finding a tire with a 165 section width and 15 inch diameter rim. I dont even know if I would have a 175/80r15. Your best bet is a 185/75r15 if you can find it. I will check stock later.
im sorry..i knew what the three numbers stood for...i always thought r meant rim...thanks for clearing it up...im looking for 165/15 tires..they have no aspect ratio...
