I guess you are right. .04 of an inch larger. Do you feel that much
difference in traction? Visually they should appear the same from the side. My
new 165's are currently in transit from Hendrix. I bought them sight unseen as
they were the only quality, long lasting tire available. I'm giving up
Michelins made in 2001 for safety as they have half the tread left.
Thanks

Here are the height specs of the Vredeteins but no widths. 185's are taller
and I believe wider.

Listers,
Following all the tire size quesions and answers, if
interested you can see my BJ8 with 185x15 [not 185/70x15]
Vred on 5 inch rims as the Yellow February car in the 2011
AHCUSA Calender. I have lowered the rear by 2 inches
to get rid of the dreaded BJ8 gap between the tire and the
fender top. It is now concentric as earlier cars.
