Facing a bit of a tire dilemma on my '72 142: Two good Cooper Sportmaster GLT tires up front in the original 165 R 15 size. Rear tires are shot. The Coopers have been discontinued, and I can't get alternative tires in the 165 R 15 size from any of my local sources. However, I have found several online sources for a few other brands in the original size (Vredestein and Nankang, to name two).

Tire Rack lists one Kumho tire in size 165/80/15 (I understand that thoe original size tires had about a sidewall aspect ratio of 83).

I'd like to keep the original Volvo steel wheels, if at all possible.

Any recommendations?
