The exceptional 6.00/6.50x18 tyre size produced by Blockley with a period looking 5 stud tread pattern, well researched with correct dimensions and superb build quality. These high quality, correctly designed high speed capable Blockley 600/650x18 tyres will transform the handling (and look) of any of the cars requiring this size. Why would anyone fit anything else?

Just take a look at the alternative tyres sold in this size, available elsewhere with the "specialist" wholesalers! Our Blockley 600/650x18 tyre was made by popular demand, particularly for owners of cars such as the bigger Lagonda LG45, LG6 and V12 examples. Note that this tyre has the correct and authentic slimmer overall width compared to many alternative tyres produced today, in particular the Michelin, which because it is far too fat overall width rubs on suspension components when cornering - and for the privilege these even cost an additional £115 plus vat = £140 a piece more  - no wonder they post them out with free or subsidised postage! The 600/650x18 Blockley tyres will not rub on the track rod ends or suspension components of these Lagonda's under cornering! It is unfortunate that so many Lagonda owners have had to resort to having to get their steering arms bent (and in consequence shortening their track rod length) in order to fit the Michelin tyre that clearly was not researched correctly and built to incorrect dimensions! And more seriously, the altering of these steering arms will also alter the Ackerman angle of the steering, affecting the steering geometry. The Blockley 600/650x18 tyre is produced with our unique 5 stud tread pattern, and will be a revelation in handling and ride quality to all who use them. What may appear the reasonable price of these tyres is only because we sell our Blockley tyres direct to the end user and garages / restoration shops and avoid the middle men Classic tyre wholesalers and their margins.

All Blockley Cross (Bias) ply tyres are made to fit the original rim widths, something many manufacturers have forgotten about over time. In addition these are tyres for genuine road use, with a robust sidewall and covering, capable of being 'curbed' as you would expect from a tyre suitable for road use.  We wanted a suitable mid 1930's - 50's look. The compounding of all our cross (Bias) ply tyres conform to FIA Appendix K which uses Dunlop 204 compound as it used to be, as reference hardness. 

All Blockley tyres are made using new moulds and tooling and a high level of quality control, resulting in a product of unsurpassed quality, roundness and conformity. As with all Blockley products, if we are not making the best then there is no point in making it. And finally, do not forget to use our perfectly fitting "Blockley Superior" inner tubes to suit, sized correctly, thick, and made from the best material butyl - and when fitted to wire wheels we also make the rim bands.
