Our Blockley 525x21 tyre is a size suitable for many vintage cars such as Austin 12/4, Bentley and Vauxhall. Built to the highest quality that is possible, it's low price is only because we sell our Blockley tyres direct to the end user, and not using the Classic tyre wholesalers, so their margins are not built into the price. These Blockley 525x21 are, as a consequence, exceptional value especially when you consider even a Coker Firestone 5.25x21 is priced £234 plus tax (£281, each) ! Which means the best is not the most expensive! These Blockley 525x21 tyres will transform the ride and handling of the cars they are fitted to.
All Blockley Cross (Bias) ply tyres are made to fit the original rim widths. 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. The Dunlop triple stud pattern in period was a problematic one, which resulted in it being superseded. We liked the period look of the triple stud tyre, so we re-designed all features of this pattern to make it work correctly without wearing out in no time. The compounding of all our cross (Bias) ply tyres conform to FIA Appendix K which uses Dunlop 204 compound as its reference hardness. This same Blockley tyre, surprisingly, has no equal having won many thousands of races and other competitions as well as Concours d'Elegance events, including class wins and overall best of show at Pebble Beach!
This is why we coined the term Road Race for our tyres when we started. Which has been copied (as have many of our tyres) by the classic tyre wholesalers who we do not sell through. So beware of imitations!
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.
And finally don't forget to use our correctly sized thicker inner tubes, because alternative brand tubes for this size are a much larger inner tube! We also supply our rim bands for teh wheels to protect the tubes from the spokes going to the wheel well.
