Great tire for our 1974 VW Super Beetle Cabriolet. If you are trying to find and excellent white wall tire that was in vogue during those years...this is the tire for you! Vitour Galaxy R1 Size: P165/80R15 Part Number: PGAWR165C15TH0

I love these tires. Installed a set on a 1960 Cadillac Fleetwood. The thread design is modern, high performance summer, and the whitewall is wide enough. They ride very smooth and road noise is zero. Way better and cheaper than Cokers. Best choice for older cars needing whitewalls.

Great buying experience. Tires for my old beetle have become very hard to find and cost over $100 each when special ordered. I was getting desperate with no spare and 4 balding damaged and plugged tires when I found simpletire. They had four tires that would fit and my only problem was deciding which to buy.Because beetles run with tires at low pressure to increase the footprint for better handling; they require a strong stiff sidewall to avoid cracking. I would like to have had some advice on this but when I called they were unable to advise me since they deal with so many brands and suppliers. After some research on line I finally chose the Galaxy R1 from Vitour due to their versatile profile and great price at just over $50 each and FREE SHIPPING! They arrived in 2 days at my postal service where I picked them up and went to a local tire service to have them mounted and balanced. The charge was a whopping $10 each! I am now riding on safe new rubber and have my best old tire as a spare all for less than the price of 2new tires special ordered from the place that used to stock them ( big O). So far so good and I see no signs of stress on the sidewalls or tread separation that have been problems when forced to buy used tires in the past.

Get technical:

Vitour's Galaxy R1 is an all-season passenger tire that offers solid traction on wet and dry surfaces. While a solid center rib ensures high stability and improved handling at high speeds, the Galaxy R1's optimized tread design can deliver a comfortable and quiet ride by lowering road noises and vibrations. Additionally, the Galaxy R1 utilizes four wide grooves that get rid of water easily to reduce the risk of hydroplaning.



Features & Benefits

  • Designed for use on passenger vehicles
  • Great traction on dry, wet, and light wintry surfaces thanks to an all-season rubber compound
  • Solid center rib for high speed stability and precise handling
  • Quiet and comfortable ride due to optimized tread design
  • Four wide circumferential grooves minimize hydroplaning
