175/65/ 14". Hazard a guess they were Michelin. Most Novas of that era were wearing 14" Michelins, my luxe still has the original rears. They are 165 width though.

I'm guessing they were either Michelin or Continential, but would like a set of original fitment tyres for mine if I could get them!
They were Michelin. I've got a set of the original tyres in my garden, still got about 5mm of tread on!
Looking much for them??? What sort of condition are they in, any cracking/dozing etc?
I wouldn't sell them to anyone, even though they've only done 12K their in no fit state to be driving on IMO.
Can you get me the model name off them please, think the influence of the Ford boys is rubbing off on me!!!!
Their Michelin MX Radial X.
Looking at google they have continued the line related press release (http://www.michelinman.com/difference/releases/pressrelease04182005c.html). Good luck finding some in good condition.
Thanks, think I actually have one one the car, so one less to look out for!!!
Jesus, you do surprise me! Thought it was only because mine hadn't done many miles.

If they are old I would imagine they are perished & the rubber gone hard.
Not good.

I have to ask, why do you want a set of tyres that are about 15 years old?
Because I want my car as original looking as possible! It'll not be an every day car, so 15 year old tyres aren't really a problem. Ever notice how mad the Ford boys go mad for Pirelli P6's?!!!!
