    Well, I just checked Coker Tire and they list just one, and it's a P155/80R15 BF Goodrich "Radial T/A" with "Raised White Letters". HERE is a link to the relevant page on their web site.

    I'm guessing you might be able to find those same tires (or something comparable) locally in Sweden as well.

    That's not a very big tire, unfortunately, but it might work as a front tire on a lightweight rod where you plan to run "big and littles."

    They also carry some 75 profile tires in larger sizes.

    There are also tires like THIS ONE (a 155SR15) which don't actually seem to specify the "profile" because I think they are tire sizes that predate the need for that, but which are probably close to either a 75 or an 80 profile. They seem to have a bunch of different sizes of those to fit 15 inch rims.

    My advice is to contact a large local tire store in Sweden to see if they have listings for the kind of tires you're looking for.

    Here is a comparison chart that shows listings for 80 series http://www.turbinecar.com/tires.htm

    I just spent 10 minutes or so on Google trying to find someone who listed 80 series tires in the sizes we might use and I drew a complete blank as far as car or light truck go.

    There are 185/80R15 and 155/80R15 and 165/80R15s.
     
  7. But that's why you're still so pure... :D

    Anyway, re the OP's question, the smaller sizes mentioned (135-165 width) are available in 80 series. Oftentimes they'll say "SR" in the middle, such as 185SR15.
