Alfa Romeo - Alfa Romeo prewar models
Blockley produces probably every tyre size that Alfa Romeo specified from the start of the company being formed, from our 60+ tyre size range. The range covers the earlier beaded edge type tyres on models such as Merosis Alfa Romeo RL , RLTF , RLSS (820x120) for which we were given the original wheel drawings by Cav. Luigi Fusi. Larger models such as the GI used the 895x135 size. After the arrival of Vittorio Jano the series of six cylinder 1500 (and a few Testa Fisa versions for the Irish TT), 1750 in various standard and supercharged forms with 18" and 19" tyres, and then all the different models of the 8 cylinder 8C 2.3 which were various 19" sizes. Next came the all modern independent suspension 6C2300 which followed on to the 6C2500 which we cover fully elsewhere in the Blockley website, and for which we have produced correct special 17" and 18" tyres with period correct tread patterns. Our Blockley tyres are built with no compromise, handle superbly and look perfect. Apart from being used for competition events as well as on the road, our authentic Blockley tyres have also been on Alfa Romeos that have won major Concours events, even being on cars winning "Best of show" at pebble Beach. Remember our Blockley tyres have been made because we are Alfa Romeo owners ourselves and realised that to have a decent no compromise product making them was the only way forward, rather than have to use the products that the big companies make, who are neither end users of these products, or frankly seem know much about the cars that their tyres fit (despite their marketing claims), which is why their products are in our opinion lacking. This is where Blockley Tyre Co. is different. And what appear to be our low prices are only because we sell direct to the end user and not through the Classic Tyre dealer / wholesalers. Nothing you can buy is this good or authentic - see full details of our Blockley range suitable for prewar Alfa Romeo tyres at the links below. Of course we cover the later tyres for the post war Alfa Romeos also!
