Blockley tyres anyone?

[Roger M]

Having poked around on the web for hours, trying to decide about tyres, I stumbled across The Blockley Tyre Co. Ltd. at https://www.blockleytyre.com/ - an actual manufacturer! (Well, I was amazed, anyway). They don't advertise apparently, so no wonder I never heard of them.

I have such a soft spot for small businesses that I'm almost tempted to shell out £150 a corner to try out their wares. (Almost!).

Has anyone else in the club tried Blockley tyres, I wonder? Maybe someone with a real veteran in the garage...

Apparently the owner of blockley was fed up with tyre companies… so started his own up…. Amazing and brave.

That looks like the old G800 tread pattern, very classic.

Interesting! Was your strategy to keep everything on the car totally as original, or did you have another reason for buying them?

Yes, I agree, a very pleasing look, somehow; it must be triggering some ancient memory!

seen them at various shows including the MG Triumph spares day and the NEC Shows seem to do all the old sizes and have a classic look to them

Me too, I seem to remember the G800 being heavily advertised back in the day - there's some old adverts on YouTube like https://youtu.be/5eaDSyReIzU?si=MwwSVY69MSTuNuMD and lots of adverts on Ebay
