Tire Advice Needed
The time has come to replace the tires on my '73 911T with Fuchs. Wheel size 185 x 70 x 15. I am being told that this size is NLA.
Is this true? If so, what size is appropriate for these rims? If not, then any ideas where can I buy the tires? Comments appreciated.

If you can't find 185/70/15's, you can always use 195/65/15's. Yokohama has this size, if I recall correctly.

195/60 can also work.
if you want something "period correct": 185/70VR15 MICHELIN XWX - Michelin - Cars & Trucks - Tire Brands

Thanks for the responses.
Looks like the 195 x 65 gets me to the same wheel diameter as the original 185 X 70. The Coker Tire alternative is too expensive for me at $400 a piece.
