A Classic 175/70R13 tyre size by Blockley. A steel belt construction tyre with a superb looking period correct tread pattern - fantastic in the wet and dry with an excellent speed rating. This 175/70VR13 tyre is sold at a seemingly low list price only because we sell our high quality tyres direct to the end user and garages / restoration shops, and avoid the services of the Classic tyre wholesalers and their commissions.

The 175/70VR13 tyre size is a wider version of a full profile 155R13 tyre size, so this 175/70R13 size is often fitted to cars that originally had the narrower 155R13 size fitted, such as Triumph GT6, Spitfire or Dolomite, although the Triumph Dolomite Sprint was fitted with the 175/70R13 tyre size as standard factory fitment. The 175/70R13 tyre size is a popular fitment for Ford Escort and other Ford models, and with the high speed rating of our 175/70R13 tyre it is ideal for the higher performance cars also.

These 175/70VR13 Blockley tyres will transform the handling of your car, and we guarantee that if they are not the best tyres you have driven on we will give a refund. Drive normally / scrub them in for about 30 miles, as any tyre should be, and use them for 1,000 miles or so and if they are not the best tyres you have driven on we will refund!

If you align the yellow painted on dot on the sidewall in the vicinty of the valve stem, that is the optimum fitment position for balancing, something you dont see done with clasic car tyres . .
