A superior quality Radial tyre 205 VR 14. The full size 205/80VR14 is a rare tyre size only available from brands Blockley and Michelin, although we have heard Pirelli will be joining soon. This 205R14 tyre size is the perfect radial option for cars originally fitted with cross ply 8.00x14 size, a size popular on many American built cars.

This Blockley 205 VR 14 is a full size "80 profile" steel belt construction Radial tyre, with an exceptional speed rating and period correct tread pattern, designed in house and built on brand new tooling and moulds. Ideal for Mk10 Jaguar, Maserati Indy, Ferrari 275 GTB / 275 GTS and later 330GTC / GTS.
The 205R14 tyre is a popular size for many Maserati models, as well as the Jaguar Mk10, many owners of which have been forced to change their wheel and tyre size to 15" due to the vast expense of the 205R14 Michelin tyre was, prior to Blockley making this 205VR14 size. Today we are offering the Blockley 205VR14 tyre at a very reasonable £199 + VAT per tyre, which means that no Jaguar Mk10 needs to be on incorrect sized wheels and tyres any more! The reason for what would seem a very low price for our tyres, is that we sell our Blockley tyres direct to teh end user, garages and restoration shops, circumventing the Classic tyre wholesaler specialists and their mark-ups. Think about it, a 205VR14 tyre costs no more to make than say a 205/70WR15, and the moulds and tooling cost similar amounts, which is why the Blockley 205VR14 is about half the price of a Michelin / Pirelli , yet we make this 205VR14 tyre because it's the best you can buy.
Every one of these 205VR14 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, something you dont see on Classic tyres . . . And as with all Blockley radial tyres in our range, scrub in for 30 miles or so to get rid of any mould release agent and over the next thousand miles or so if you don't believe these are the best tyres you've driven on we will refund.
