SuperBrat Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Well took my pugs in to take off the 190 65 ? to put on some 175 65 15 tires off mini copper after a 2 hour wait an 1 tire guy reluctant to do it, the other tire guy attempts it and it would not go on, i know a 15 inch tire will fit the same rims cause i had them on a BRat with lift, the first tire guy says he felt liable for the mounting......This was the same shop with 2 workers, wondering if they just did not want to mount them at all..... So my question is what size tire do you run on 15 inch pugs (with the black stripes with the lion center caps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Some of the 15 inch pugs are in-fact 390mm, so they are 15.3 inch wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) The bad news and the dead giveaway is you wanted to remove '190 65' tyres. This means your rims are metric (I think they were known as TRX?). It is not possible to fit regular tyres and as NoahDL88 stated above, are in fact 390mm not 15 inches.

john in KY Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 The size should be cast into the backside of the wheel but what you have are the oddball 390s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 doh many threads talk of this too. I think aluminum scrap prices are up, which is good, you can scrap them for a little change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92_rugby_subie Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 This will go on forever... I had 195/60/15s on the same wheels, never had a problem. Im gonna go with the majority here, youve got 390mm wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 What they are trying to here is that the style you have came in 2 different sizes. One is a 15in wheel, the other is a metric (390mm) wheel. You have the metric wheels, which are pretty worthless considering tires for them costs a few hundred dollars.....each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 The TRX rims (390mm) aren't all bad - Michelin still makes the TRX tires but only in the one size - 190/65-390 They are high performance tires and handle very well. Thus the relatively high price. But most performance tires are fairly expensive. The problem comes when people get these rims thinking they are 15's and try to put something that wasn't designed for them on. The bead lip is entirely different also.... normal tires don't fit because the rims were designed for special high performance tires.
