This Blockley 235/60 VR 13 is a modern designed steel belt construction Radial tyre, with an exceptional speed rating and period correct tread and sidewall, designed in house.
This tyre size has been unavailable for more than 30 years, until it became available again, manufactured using new moulds and tooling from The Blockley Tyre Company, speed rated for 149mph / 240kph..
We were persuaded to design and manufacture this size by HKT Reifen in Germany, because their friend Walter Röhl needed this original 235/60VR13 tyre size for his Opel Ascona Rally car which he wanted to refurbish and use again. After Blockley produced the prototypes he gave them a good testing, after which we went into production.
Originally a tyre size fitted to cars such as Ford Capri and Ford Escort XPAC Mk1, Ford RS2000 XPAC, Chevette, Opel and so on. Note that this 13" tyre size will fit a rim width of up to 9 inches, so the 235/60VR13 will have other applications for historic cars as well.
Please note that the realistic list price of this 235/60VR13 tyre is possible only because we sell direct to the end user / workshops, as well as 2 other outlets that we have chosen. We are surprised to see this tyre listed for sale on line by so many tyre wholesalers at huge prices, in some cases at more than double what we charge.
Every one of these tyres is inspected and checked for dynamic balance - The small painted yellow circle on the side wall can be aligned with the valve stem by the tyre fitter so they know the optimum place to put it. We perform this additional inspection process as we are determined to supply the best possible no-compromise product.
