U.S. Royal | 560-15

This is an authentic U.S. Royal blackwall 5.60-15 tire. 560-15 tires were very popular fitments on imports from the fifties and sixties including the Volkswagen Beetle. These tires are made in the USA in the original molds and backed by our life of the tread warranty. US Royal tires were original equipment on many autos from WWII until the 1960's. Please note that dimensions listed tread width, section width and overall diameter are non-scientific and based on an inflated tire, mounted on a wheel. Dimensions may vary due to rim width and inflation pressure. tread patterns and sidewall styles vary, please click on individual tires below to view photos.

Bias Ply Construction

Bias ply tire construction is a method that was used from the 1900's through the 1970's on passenger cars and light trucks. Bias ply tires feature ply cords that run at a 45 degree angle to the bead, and overlap in a crisscross pattern, depending on how many ply layers are used. This creates a strong tire, but bias ply tires have a tendency to follow breaks or ruts in the pavement. Bias ply tires are the most authentic choice for classic car restorations and traditional hot rod builds. Coker Tire offers a huge variety of bias ply tires for many applications.

Tire mounted on wheel for demonstration purposes only. Wheel and other accessories are not included.

Question:

I just purchased a 560-15 from you to use as the spare for my 1967 VW bug. My bug has 165R15 tires on it now. Will the 560-15 tire fit the165R15 rim? Thank you.
By Denton Baker on October 01, 2018

Answer:

Yes, a 560-15 will fit the same rim. In fact, 560-15 was the original equipment size in 1967. It is a bias ply tire, however, so keep that in mind. It is generally not advised to mix bias ply and radials (your 165R15s are radials), so if you end up having to use the spare be very careful. Bias tire handle differently than radials and when mixed can cause the car to be difficult to control.
