400 x 19
4.00 x 19 Blockley cross (bias) ply tyre with a correct period triple stud pattern, with exact and accurate 400x19 tyre dimensions. This is not one of your multi size marked "400/450x19" compromise tyres! For the smaller 3.50 tyre size Blockley make a different tyre, and for a 4.50 section we again make a correct 4.50 tyre, exactly as it was done in period.

This 4.00x19 tyre looks exactly as produced by Dunlop in period with the same details and dimensions, and produced with the Blockley high build and design quality that will genuinely transform the handling of your vehicle, especially compared to the motorcycle type 400x19 tyres which when used on cars have a sidewall which is too weak for motor car use - remember an Avon or other motorcycle type tyre has a very different design and construction for a wholly different application where the tyre does not stay vertical in cornering. The Blockley 400x19 has a surprisingly deep tread depth (as it was in period with the 400x19 size) which works on the lighter cars it was designed for such as the MG M or P Types and some "Light Cars" which were often originally fitted with beaded edge tyres (which we also manufacture for those who still have their beaded edge rims). We have noticed that today our 400x19 is even used on some large capacity aero-engined specials which goes to demonstrate the quality of the construction of these Blockley 4.00x19 tyres! These 400x19 have also been used on motorcycles, as well as being perfect for sidecars. Unlike the rest of the Blockley range of cross ply tyres, this 400x19 size really is as identical to the original prewar product as is possible. We did this because with the lighter cars the 400x19 was built for, it was not necessary for us to make any modifications to the tread block design.
Note that since making our tyres, they have been copied (as have many of our tyres) and sold by the classic tyre wholesalers who Blockley do not sell through. So beware of imitations!
All Blockley tyres are made with new manufactured moulds and tooling, coupled with a high level of quality control, resulting in a product of unsurpassed quality, roundness and conformity. And the low price of this super high quality tyre is possible only because we sell direct to the end user or garages, and not through the "Classic" tyre wholesalers.
Finally you will see that Blockley also produces a choice of dedicated 400x19 inner tubes to fit in these tyres, dependednt on the wheels they are being fitted to. If you are unsure of which tube is best for you please get in touch and we can advise.
