Vitour Galaxy R1 · 165R15 · 86H Load/Speed · 20mm White Wall Sidewall · Bias-Look Radial · Classic & Vintage Fitment · Single Tire
The Classic 15-Inch Whitewall Tire Your Restoration Deserves
The 165R15 Vitour Galaxy R1 whitewall tire is the slightly wider companion to our 155R15 offering 10mm additional section width that suits a broader range of classic European and Japanese vehicle platforms that originally specified 165mm tires while maintaining the same bias-look profile and 20mm white wall sidewall that makes the Galaxy R1 the most authentic-looking radial tire available for classic vehicle restorations and builds.
At 165mm section width the Galaxy R1 fills the wheel arches of classic British sports cars Italian coupes and European sedans from the 1950s through 1970s with proportionally correct presence the tire appearing exactly as it should on these vehicles rather than the visually incorrect modern-look that contemporary replacement tires deliver on classic platforms.
The 20mm white wall is precise and refined a narrow accent that suits the character of the lightweight European and Japanese classics this tire serves far better than the wide white walls associated with American luxury and lowrider culture.
Important brand note: The Vitour Galaxy R1 is manufactured by Vitour Tire a completely separate brand from Vogue Tyre. Alexander’s Tire Services carries both Vitour and Vogue products. Vitour serves the classic and vintage vehicle restoration market. Vogue serves the luxury and custom car market. They are different brands for different applications.

Bias-Look Radial Best of Both Worlds
The Vitour Galaxy R1’s bias-look profile is one of its most important technical features for classic vehicle applications and understanding what it means helps explain why it is superior to both genuine bias tires and modern radial tires for classic vehicle use.
Genuine bias tires deliver period-correct visual appearance but lack the modern radial construction that provides superior safety grip and longevity under contemporary road conditions.
Modern radial tires deliver modern performance but their low-profile design looks visually incorrect against the bodywork and suspension of classic vehicles designed for taller-profile tires.
Bias-look radial delivers modern radial construction the safety cornering and longevity benefits of radial tire engineering inside a bias-look profile that maintains the tall rounded cross-section that makes the tire appear visually correct on classic vehicles.
