28x3 beaded edge / clincher tyre produced by Blockley which has an authentic period correct "diamond" tread pattern. Unlike other brands of 28x3 made today, our tyre has the correct much larger diameter that the 28x3 tyre had in period. This correctly researched 28x3 tyre by Blockley is unlike any other brand of 28x3 tyre offered through the Classic car tyre wholesalers. This is a 28x3 tyre with excellent build quality, made using new moulds and tooling, along with a robust tyre construction as it should be - so that it not only looks period perfect but will give excellent service.

This latest 28x3 Blockley tyre size is in stock.

The 28x3 Blockley tyre has the diameter and overall width just as the 28x3 tyre actually had in period, which was a diameter larger than 28 inches! This is a tyre produced by us as part of the request for numerous beaded edge tyre sizes by the V.M.C.C, the Vintage Motor Cycle Club, who had serious concerns over the poor quality of beaded edge motorcycle tyres available to their membership, as supplied by the Classic tyre wholesalers. And since we are needing this 28x3 size for a Veteran car that we own, our 28x3 tyre has been manufactured to be perfect for motorcar as well as motorcycle use i.e. with a decent sidewall and construction (as they had in period), as well as having a tread profile that make it suitable for an early motorcycle, where a rider may lean a little in corners .

The 28x3 tyre size was the fitment for a variety of early American cars such as Curved Dash Oldsmobile, the earlier Ford models such as the Model A and Model N, Cadillac Model A, Rambler, Maxwell and many other lesser known American marques such as Orient etc, in addition to being used on early European built vehicles and light cars. The Blockley 28x3 tyre has a handsome period correct tread pattern based on the most popular tread that was in existence in the early days of motor cars and and motorcycles, a pattern used into the early 30's, making the vehicles it is fitted to look just perfect. This 28x3 Blockley tyre size is also ideal for many of the V twin Indian and Harley-Davidson motorcycles, making these bikes not only look just as they did in period, but with a quality made reliable product, and ideal for those that like to put their machinery to use also. The 28x3 tyre size is an imperial dimensioned tyre, along with the wheel rim that was made for it, but in Europe we have found the 28x3 tyre marketed as 700x75 in some tyre listings - if in any doubts contact us with your wheel dimensions and we can identify what is required.

We are able to list price this superb Blockley 28x3 tyre at less than even an Ensign brand 28x3 sold elsewhere, and about half the price of Cokers Excelsior, and at a small fraction of the 28x3 Coker Firestone "Non -Skid" and Button tyres, all of which is only possible because we sell our Blockley tyres direct to the end user and garages / restoration shops, by avoiding the services of the UK Classic tyre wholesalers and their commissions. Please be aware when on line that some wholesalers now refer to the Coker Excelsior tyre as "Block" 28x3 (which has nothing to do with a block pattern) presumably in the hope of catching out people looking for the 28x3 Blockley tyre, or giving the impression that the Blockley is sold at their gargantuan price! But now that our Blockley 28x3 is available we should start seeing the wholesalers reduce the prices of what they have (as happened when we introduced our other clincher / beaded edge sizes), perhaps even offering inclusive "free" tubes and so on, but remember these are still the same over priced underwhelming products they've always offered, which is why there has been a requirement for us to go to the effort of making this new Blockley 28x3 size!

We have sourced inner tubes that fit this 28x3 tyre correctly. Please note that the Classic Tyre wholesalers recommend the fitting of a Michelin 21" MDR inner tube for the 28x3 - although possible to somehow fit, DO NOT use this size (which is for a 21" rim size) while 28x3 tyre fits a larger size wheel rim that requires a larger inner tube. They also recommend fitting 710x90 Michelin tubes (at £60 +) which again is for a wheel that has smaller diameter. These wholesaler experts have been causing misery for decades! Fit a correctly sized tube.
