Joe,

I believe that a "165R15" is a "78" series tire.  That is to say, the
sidewall height is 128.7mm or 78% of the 165mm width.  A "65" series tire
would usually be specified as 165/65R15.

Hope this helps,

I am going to order tires tomorrow for my 59 TR3 (actually, Big O is).  The
tires on it now are Peerless 165R15.  Am I correct in thinking that this is
a 65 series tire?  Any last thoughts before I get them?
thanks,
Joe
