You seem to be forgetting that many tyre sizes would be common
across a
variety of different makes and models, though.

Unfortunately, not always. (You did write "many".)
Indeed I did... looks at own email address - not much else takes
125x15s...

Just needed to order some specially - the *only* car that takes the
specific tyre. And it's only a Nissan.
surprised No close-alternative common tyre size?

175/60 R 15 H

Gawd alone knows why an H rating. Any suggestions?

A V rating? In which case it's a fairly common size.

But more expensive? No - I've just checked - cheaper!!! Bizarre world we
live in.

I went round several tyre places the other day - not one offered V. Not
one offered a lower rating. All sucked their teeth and said "Only one
car uses them".


Even if it was true Nissan Micras are hardly unusual.
