765x105
Blockley do not technically manufacture a 765x105 tyre, but we do make a tyre that is arguably more correct than anything sold today as a 765x105, which fits the 765x105 wheel rim!
In period the 765x105 tyre was made with a diameter of 792mm, but fast forward to today and the modern replacement 765x105 tyres available from the tyre wholesalers have a much smaller 770mm quoted.
The wheel rim for a 765x105 tyre is virtually the same as the one for the 760x90 tyre, except it has a 14mm wider width (89mm compared to 75mm), and since the Blockley brand 760x90 (unlike other brands) is made to the original period diameter of 776mm it is considered by many a useful alternative which many customers have used in place of a 765x105. And at a gargantuan saving!
| Type | Beaded Edge |
|---|---|
| Overall diameter | 776mm |
| Rim width (min) | Overall width 75mm |
| Rim width (max) | Overall width 89mm |
| Rim width (recommended) | 760x90 rim or 765x105 rim. |
As an example, a customer purchased our super high quality Blockley 760x90 tyres that are fitted to his 765x105 wheel rims, and the cost of these four tyres including taxes is £955.20. The cost of four Excelsior 765x105 tyres including taxes is £2,606.40. So by fitting the alternative Blockley tyres, which even have a more correct diameter compared to what the 765x105 tyre had in period, the saving for the customer was over £1,650! And the quality and savings continued to flow after he used the 760x90 Blockley Superior tubes over the Michelin 760x90's.
