Hello All! Everyone seems to say that the 165/65R15 radials are the correct replacement for the original cross ply 5.9-15, which has an aspect ratio of 80, giving a 120mm bead to tread profile.The 165/65R15 has a bead to tread profile of 107.5mm.
WOULD NOT the difference in circumference have a bearing on the speed reading and odometer.

165/70R15 -Profile 115mm, 165/75R15 -Profile 123mm and 165 SR 15 Micheline XZX has a Profile 132mm(way bigger than the original crossply profile of 120mm.

Are 165/70R15 or 165/75R15 made or am I dreaming.

Thanking you in advance😊
Sunil
