4 bolts, 15" wheel. The car has 165R15 tires on it currently, and I think they are from at least 2005 so I'll probably need to replace them before I do any serious driving. I can't find a DOT date code though. The brand is Mastercraft. They have a lot of tread left.
I only see one option for replacement at tirerack, so it appears this is not a common size these days. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Vredestein&tireModel=Sprint+Classic&partnum=6HR5SC Thanks, Allan MG <afn47...@basicisp.net> writes: > Is that the big 5 bolt pattern or the small 4 > bolt?
