215/70VR15
A fantastic quality 215/70VR15 tyre size with period correct tread pattern offering unbelievable handling and ride with good precise steering and lightness. Blockley build tyres for period cars correctly, and contrary to rumours from tyre wholesalers (who we do not sell through), the dimensions and tread widths etc on our Blockley 215/70VR15 are 100% correct! The reasonable list price of our 215/70VR15 tyre is because we sell direct.
The 215/70VR15 tyre size is also a useful alternative to tyre sizes 225/60R15 and 205R15 (i.e. 205/80R15), as well as a good alternative for 60 series F60-15 and G60-15 tyre sizes, plus F70-15 and G70-15.

The Blockley 215/70R15 is a superior quality correct period looking V speed rated tyre built on new moulds and tooling that is commonly fitted to cars such as Aston Martin V8, Jaguar XJ12 and post 1980 XJS, Ferrari Daytona, some AC Cobras, Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 etc. The ride and handling quality of the Blockley tyre is exceptional, in wet or dry. These Blockley 215/70R15 tyres are E Marked and DOT marked (for use in the USA). To reinforce these comments I add some comments from respected Chevrolet Corvette specialist Tom Falconer who uses the 215/70VR15 Blockley on his C2 Corvette, "I fitted them in 2022, and since then I’ve been to Le Mans and report they are excellent! I’ve been driving C2 s as my own cars since 1972, and these Blockleys are probably the best I’ve had."
100% of these Blockley 215/70VR15 tyres are inspected (as all Blockley tyres) which includes checking for balance - the small painted yellow dot on the side wall can be aligned with the valve stem by the tyre fitter so they know the optimum place to fit it. We perform this additional inspection process as we are determined to supply the best possible no-compromise product. These will be the best handling tyres you have ever driven on - scrub in for 30 miles or so as you should any tyre, do 1,000 miles or so on them and if you disagree we will refund! Our reasonable prices are only possible because we sell direct to the end user and preparers / garages, and not through the Classic tyre wholesalers which avoids their mark ups, so don't be fooled by thinking spending more will get you a better product! Try them and be surprised, and find out why the Blockley company was started!
