This size is used on the rear of D Type Jaguars and Listers etc, and many 1950's and 1960's Sports racing cars. Many Mk 6 Bentley special owners fit this tyre for its awesome handling capabilities and period looks, and by far the best tyre you could fit to the Mallalieu Bentleys.
All Blockley Cross (Bias) ply tyres are made to fit the original rim widths, something other manufacturers have forgotten about over time. In addition they are genuine tyres for road use, with a robust sidewall and covering, capable of being 'curbed' as you would expect from a tyre suitable for road use. We wanted a suitable mid 1930's - 50's look. The compounding of all our cross (Bias) ply tyres conform to FIA Appendix K which uses Dunlop 204(not a particularly soft compound) compound as its reference hardness.
All Blockley tyres are made with new moulds and tooling and a high level of quality control, resulting in a product of unsurpassed quality, roundness and conformity.
