I purchased these tires for a 1972 VW Super Beetle. Considering no tire shop in the greater Pasadena had tires that fit my Bug, ordering online from Simple Tire was great option. I had the them shipped to American Tire Depot, after confirming with the shop they would be able to receive them and install them after arrival. I was a little concerned, seeing as how the tire size recommended for a '72 Beetle is not longer being produced. But the order, shipping and installation went off without a hitch and now my Bug rides much smoother and has much better handling with 4 new Nexen SB802 installed on it. For any vintage VW owners out there looking for replacement tires, I would highly recommend these Nexen SB802.
Professional tire installation.

The tires are very good, handle well under all the conditions its seen. Very smooth ride, and the tire noise is very low as well. Extremely pleased with the purchase.

The Nexen SB-802 is an all-season tire that's designed for classic cars and offers drivers great performance in dry, wet, and light snow thanks to its optimum comfort, traction, precise steering response, and long service life.
Features & Benefits
- All-season tread
- Black sidewall
- Backed by Nexen's Total Coverage Warranty which includes Roadside Assistance for 36 months [Terms and conditions apply].
Classic car drivers want tires that not only offer great year-round performance in dry, wet, and light wintry conditions but also go in sync with their car's timeless design. Fortunately, the Nexen SB802 combines all-season traits and classic tread design to qualify for an ideal classic car tire as it provides the above characteristics. Offering drivers a rare combination of vintage style and modern technology, the Nexen SB802 receives wide grooves and open shoulder slots for quick water evacuation to avoid the risk of hydroplaning and boost wet traction. While the modern rubber compound resists uneven wear and provides a longer service life, the optimized vintage design reduces noise and vibrations to offer a quiet and comfortable ride throughout the year.
